Popo vs Rahim

[Zab Super Judah]

This fight could be awesome.

I'm really looking forward to it. I think alot of fans are overlooking it. Both guys have something to prove.

I think if Rahim fights the way he did against Morales, he will outbox Freitas easily.

What do you guys think?

raheem will win the early rounds. But I think as the fight goes on Freitas is going to catch Raheem clean and make raheem go into defense mode. I see Raheem winning a close decision. Although Morales is a better fighter than Freitas, Freitas has a size advantage and can still throw a punch at 135. freitas by clsoe decision

[Zab Super Judah]

Yeah you're right.

Bad choice of words, but what I meant was...he wasn't on ***** street and was like a machine that kept coming....untill Freitas short circuited him in the 12th.

He was giving Freitas all types of trouble as well.

It was a close fight. And Freitas did what he had to do. And that was close the show with a KO/TKO.

the way i see it, if the fight goes the distance its a UD for Raheem ...

Freitas is one of my favorites..

He should have walked through Corrales, but Brasilian boxers never seem to stay hungry if they dominate (as oppose to their bare fisted fighters). I personally blame all the easy ass sex in Brasil..lol As crazy as that sounds I'm stickin to it..

But fighters like Kelson Pinto had Cotto hurt when they fought...everyone called me crazy when I said Pinto had Cotto hurt and eventually Cotto's Chin has come to light. Pinto just never bothered to learn from his success and his comp's success. He's fought the exact same way since his amatuer days, He just relied on his speed and power and that was it..

But anyways...If Freitas shows up, you will see..

Matrix like defense (This foo can dodge anything in the ring)

And Hulk like power (He packs a big punch)

He's so talented that HE CAN come back off this layoff and beat the skin off Rahim..

i am not familier with freitas but i hope to see raheem win because of the way he dominated Morales. It should have landed him a quick fight with Pac, Barrarra, or Marquez. They are the big names in the division as far as i know. I want him to get a win on Barrarra because i think both Barrarra and Morales are overrated. Then i wonder if Pac is too one dimensional to stand with Raheem (of course pac's power sets the odds in that fight) but i was impressed by raheem's slick boxing skills.

[ferocity]

I think freitas will win a decision. He out boxed Corrales before he gave up and I think freitas can box or slug with raheem and im not sure if raheem can slug with freitas. Should be a really good fight.

[elgaringo]

Im rooting for freitas to win this fight. He's got a lot more pleasing style

[B.relampago]

I live in the area and will prolly be going to this fight. I think that Freitas is going to win,im routing for him too. Im going w/ my friend who is brazilian and some of his family so i guess ima be brazilian for the night,lol. But i like and respect Raheem, but I think Popo is gonna win.

And to whoever talked bout this..... Pinto never hurt Cotto in that fight ur outa ur mind. Cotto destroyed Pinto completely.

Erik is taller than Zahir by an inch and enjoys a two-inch reach advantage (72). Zahir is as tall as Popo but has a two-inch reach advantage (68 to 70).

I'm definitely rooting for Freitas, I hope he knocks Raheem out but I have a feeling Raheem by UD
