Raheem easy. Kid Diamond is limited. Wicked fast right hand, but little else besides that. Raheem will put on a clinic.

Raheem by wide UD.

Close fight, but i'd have to go with Kid Diamond. I don't think Raheem has the power to keep diamond at bay. The last boxer I saw Kid Diamond fight he made it a very close fight against Casamayor, who imo, is better then Raheem.

I had Kid winning the Casa fight, I agree this will be another close fight but if I have to put my money on this fight, I will pick Raheem by a close UD win.

I agree with you.

another thing it hard to fight when you stunt a couple of time and if he clinches alot like he did with Freitas then it going to Kid Diamond.

Casamayor fight was close fight and Kid Diamond knows how to use effective agreesion aganist someone who move around alot.

yep. the casa fight was really even...i had joel winning by a point i believe. i think rahim will be able to deal with his handspeed...as he dealt with freitas' fairly well. the only really redeeming quality that i remember about kid diamond is that quick right.
