Freitas Vs. Raheem (gonna be a good one)

Im not really sold out on Raheem.I saw 3 of his fights.His fight with Juarez was ugly, but Raheem's will to fight was questionable.As has been said above, he almost quit.Then I saw his fight with Luisito Espinosa.He got dropped by a left hand and Loui was what, 34?35 years old?He still won by stoppage though getting KD'ed by an old man who was supposed to be a tune-up fight is not my idea of an elite fighter.And there was the Morales fight.Of course we all know what happened, but that was El Terrible's first at 135 and it was supposed to be Erics tuneup for Pac.We have to admit Morales may not have the proper mindset going to the fight. Popo on the other hand quit against Chico.But we all know how hard a Corrales punch is. So between the 2,looking at their history, I would say Freitas by KO.If Louie can drop Raheem, I have no doubt a Popo punch can.

freitas is a bigger puncher than morales, but i think he'll still be outboxed. the big question now is popo's heart, i think after being schooled and humilated in the early rounds he'll mentally quit and raheem wins a UD

I'm glad to see Raheem getting a shot after his domination of Morales. I think he'll make good on the opportunity and take the decision, but it should be a good fight and we know Freitas can bang.

Raheem pretty much owned Juarez, outboxed him plain and simple, and Jaurez looked positively clueless by the end. I dont hold "no mas" against Freitas, he blew himself out trying to be a super-slickster and once he gassed he was getting killed. That fight wasnt going to get any better for him, he couldnt move enough to buy some time and regain his energy, so it was either quit or get FUBAR'ed. This is a good fight. Freitas needs to getr back oin track and raheem is about as hungry as you can get, long avoided, finally getting some good exposure. Skillwise I think they are fairly even and I know its a cliche but it just matters whose heart is really strong enough to take the upper hand. i'm not sure he owned juarez when he took a knee and came to his corner saying he had nothing left in his legs- he almost quit man, his corner had to talk him into fighting

I didn't see Raheem vs. Juarez but know how it went down. Juarez hits pretty hard. Did he ever have Raheem stunned? Did he land any good punches for that matter? If so, Freitas will tear him up. If not, Raheem by UD. that fight was painful to watch: early on rahem was dejected even teling his corner that his legs were gone. at one point i thought he was going to quit. raheem came back but the ref deducted points from raheem from raheem for holding/ pushing on back of neck of the smaller juarez. the ref was completely fixated on this and more or less forced raheem to concentrate on not pushing down on juarez. raheem was deducted a couple of points. this fight was ugly and helped to make the sim v diaz fight incredible.

I wonder how much disire Freitas has left. His comback fights were agenst week opp and has taken a long layoff after his last fight. Raheem has also had a long lay off as well and has a lot of pressure on him to duplicate the moralis fight. Freitas has a lot more experiance at the top levels and agienst good fighters, where Raheem only has two real names to his resume in Juares who he lost to in a disputed fight and moralis who he dominated. I think Freitas will win as he has good skills can be unothedox if need be remeber the grigorian fight, as well as a heavy punch with both hands. What really matters is Freitas's drive to once agian be a champ. If both men bring their A game I still will have to go with Feitas more versital heavy hands.

ddddamn, really? with that information at hand i gots to give the winning favor to Raheem. but shit, then again who knows? :cool: u must me new to boxing if u didnt know that 1

He said "NO Mas" against Chico ddddamn, really? with that information at hand i gots to give the winning favor to Raheem. but shit, then again who knows? :cool:

but there so good. it jus confuses me :confused:

me seeing some pros train like ive seen tapia and dymetri salas and frietas its prett damn medeocre.

Either Raheem by wide UD or Freitas catches him late and puts him to sleep. Gonna be tough to pick that's for sure. I agree with this....... :boxing:

He said "NO Mas" against Chico let the best man win. whos the only fighter freitas has lost to? :confused:

nah i call it for frietas he knows how to get in and work the bodie and he has more power then raheem

I agree, Frietas hasn't been the same since he quit against Corrales, matter of fact, since the Barrios fight--- i actually see this one as an easy night for raheem, stay on the outside and bang from there.
