A couple of my training partners are from Uganda and we've all gotten to be close friends. A few years back, when Ouma was the man at '54 he was up here for a Ugandan Convention. I was pumped to spend time with dude and talk some boxing and African politics, however, after like five minutes I couldn't wait to get away from the guy. All he cared about is who could get him weed. He ended up sitting in a dark corner of the room with sunglasses on like he was a king in his royal court, not really talking to anyone, but also slamming any fighter who's name happened to come up. At that time I told a friend that Ouma would be a broke joke in 5 years, and look at him now. The guy is more of a waste of talent than Zab Judah, Panchito Bojado, and Ricardo Williams all rolled into one. I say that because in the ring he had the mental and physical fortitude that these other guys with natural boxing talent lacked. His out of the ring lifestyle and wanna-be thug rapper attitude ruined a great story, and what could have been one of Africa's best.

But am shocked Holmes is still fighting, I remember him last in the middleweight tourney which B-hop won to become the undisputed champ at MW.
