Ouma vs Francisco Mora

KASSIM Ouma would in the good old days not pursue a North American Boxing Organisation (NABO) title, but, he now finds it is his best way to get another shot at the IBF title.
The ‘inferior’ crown that Ouma and Francisco Mora will be battling for tonight, could provide the answer to the Ugandan’s dream of a second world title shot.
A win at Arizona’s Desert Diamond Casino will brighten Ouma’s chances of securing another chance at the world crown.
Ouma, who lost the IBF light middleweight title to Roman Karmazin (right) last year, is itching for a rematch with the Russian.
The US-based Ugandan is also interested in challenging WBA champion Alejandro Garcia or WBC champion Ricardo Mayorga.
“I am in perfect shape after a month of preparation. I should easily win,” said Ouma 22(14kos)1-1
Mora, 31, is a seasoned Argentine fighter 50(34kos)0-9 hungry for any glory.
