Ouma routs Mora in eight

Kassim Ouma TKO8 Francisco Mora... Former IBF champion Kassim Ouma put on a near-perfect boxing clinic over eight rounds against Argentine import Francisco Mora, using a blend of skills, speed, and power to make his case for being the best junior Middleweight in the world despite a clear-cut loss to Roman Karmazin last year. Ouma put Mora down in round two with a right uppercut as Mora was holding Ouma's left arm.  Ouma dominated every single round, landing an astonishing 382 punches over just eight rounds.  About round five or six, Ouma's punches really started to take their toll on Mora and the fight probably could have been stopped at anytime from that point on.  Ouma landed a straight left to end the fight at 2:33 of round eight when the referee mercifully called a halt to the bout after Mora got up.  With the win, Ouma improves to 23-2-1 with 15 KOs, while the normally durable Mora is stopped for only the second time in his career and falls to 50-10 with 34 KOs. source: Friday Night Fights on ESPN2
