K9 Upsets Former Champ Ouma! |
|
Cornelius Bundrage (28-3, 16 K0s) of "The Contender" fame beat former IBF junior middleweight champion Kassim Ouma (25-5-1, 15 K0s) at the Seneca Allegany Casino & Resort in Salamanca, NY making it the third loss in a row for the former champ.
In the early rounds Bundrage started off fast and it seemed as though Ouma lost all the fire he had in past fights. However, a cut opend up on Bundrage which seemed to ignite Ouma as he came on in the later rounds. A point was taken from Bundrage for excessive holding, which in turn only encouraged the former Contender to pick up the pace of the fight.
It wasn't the sharpest performance and both of these guys could learn a few things about technique by watching a Christian Mijares fight, but Bundrage showed heart and will to outwork Ouma over ten rounds to claim a 96-93, 95-94, 96-93 unanimous decision.
