I don't know how much competition it is going to have in this category.
The fight was not only dull but unskillfully fought as well.
When Raheem wasn't clinching like John Ruiz he was flopping on the canvas like an epilectic.
When Freitas wasn't swinging like a drunken sailor he was crying like a ten year old girl.
It was pitiful really, made far worse by the completely uninspired commentary by Lewis, Kellerman and Charles. Kellerman did a great job, the other two have to go. Or rather, Lennox should smoke before the show to loosen up. I don't think there is any hope for Fran Charles at all.
I thought Kellerman was the worst of the bunch that night. He has a real problem dating back to his ESPN days favoring the boxer over the puncher. It's inconcievable to me how he could have scored the fight so heavily in favor of Raheem, when Raheem was the instigator of 10,000 clinches. Let's all pray to the boxing gods that Raheem gets a perma-ban from telivised fights.
YEAH THAT FIGHT WAS PATHETIC I MADE IT A POINT TO FREE UP MY SATURDAY TO SEE THE 2 FIGHTS AND I DEFINATELY SHOULD HAVE WENT BACK TO THE BAR AND CONTINUED DRINKING THOSE FIGHTS WERE JUST THAT BAD AND NORMALLY IF BOXING IS ON I DONT CARE I WILL WATCH IT.

My favorite part of the fight was Freitas constantly holding and hitting, hitting behind the head, holding Raheem's head downand popping him 3 or 4 times on top of it, etc, etc, etc, then looking at the ref and trying to get Raheem penalized every time there was incidental contact.
Personally, I thought Raheem did enough to win, but there wasn't much to choose from. I will admit that my opinion may be colored somwhat by the way that Freitas was cheating (no more than any other boxer)then whining to the ref the entire fight.
