This featherweight got robbed vs Rocky Juarez and I thought would be making SOME kinda noise by now. Where the hell is he? He could be a goof fighter anywhere from 126 to 135.

I didnt think Zahir got robbed,It was a dumb ref for sure,but those pts the ref took away,i thought would have gone rocky anyway for legit knockdowns that werent counted, IMO worst case scenario it should have been a draw.He did exposes weaknesses in rocky tho,he can be out worked,and has trouble with slick dudes like Zahir.But yeah Zahir def deserves more attention,definetly needs some tv time,seems like hes only had 1 fight since then,that sucks.

super lightweight can read my mind, in fact just a couple of hours ago i was searching for raheem and what he was up to...

i think he has tremendous talent and the ref stole the fight with jaurez.... zahir wins that fight if not for the points taken away for nothing.

zahir is my boy, after i saw a few fights of him. against juarez it was so stupid. juarez gona get ****ed hard by chi. raheem had a fight a month or so ago, he did alright.
hopefully he can face chi-juarez winner.

He is taking the Rahman route and is taking quite the few tuneups before coming back in for a world title. Id expect him to be heard again by the winter months late this year or early next.

He will be back.

i dont think he got robbed, it was a close fight, and he was rabbit punching all night so i didnt feel sorry for him at all.

Raheem knew he was getting points deducted for holding behind the head but he still did it. That's his fault and no is was not a robbery. Without the point deductions I would of had it a draw. I don't think we will see him at 126 anymore.

Juarez will beat Chi.

Juarez will beat Chi.
when he was holdin behind the head, it wasn't worth a point deduction. like it wasn't huge at all. its jus his style. like mayorga and his wide punches, sumtimes when the gy turns to defend, it hits him on the bak of the head. and kinda like lennox when he use to put out his left hand on the gyz shoulder to land his right
its just the style

i had it clsoe to a draw with the point deductions, it was a far robbery.
and chi is going to beat juarez i think.
u think juarez right, u thinkin by decision or KO?

Whether it's thier style or not it's still illegal. I don't think the point deductions were really warranted but like I said it's his fault for still doing it after being deducted points.

I'm going with the decision. Chi is tough with a very good chin but I think Juarez' overall better skills will come out on top. Juarez has trouble with fighters who fight on the outside with long arms like Raheem. Chi will be there for him all night so he won't have to look for him which will help because of his short arms.
