I'm really looking forward to this matchup. The puncher versus the boxer. The general rule of thumb holds for this matchup as well in my opinion. The boxer generally wins.
I think that Freitas' punching ability is very over-rated. Since he stepped up the competition and started fighting more ranked people and in America, he has seldomly knocked someone out. The last credible knock out and probably the only credible knockout by Freitas as of late was against Jorge Barrios.
I see Raheem winning this bout and easily. And if I was Raheem I'd try to make a JMM or Barrera matchup.
