Raheem won easily 8-4 in my opinion, and frietas didnt do **** in the 12th round like some people are saying. I cant remember one real good punch he landed the whole fight besides the uppercut in the clinch, and the punchs he did land were 1 at a time, while raheem landed combinations at times and had the harder punchs of the night. Aggressiveness is not what wins a fight, effective aggressiveness does which frietas was unable to accomplish. Raheem landed the cleaner punchs all night and boxed exceptional, there styles made for an ugly sloppy fight but frietas was holdin just as much as raheem, so u cant just blame raheem for that.
Frietas held as much as raheem, there styles just didnt make for a good fight.

agree with you man...raheem definitely won the fight BUT ...raheem knew what was at stake ... he didnt fight like someone who had everything to lose ...he fought like he could coast and not do much... thats wack man... this ***** has a daughter to feed and he fought like he has been on top for years and could easily get a decision... plus he knows in the past he has gotten ****ed ...so why wouldnt you fight like there was no tomorrow ... ??? in raheems defense ... a lot of frietas came from the clinching... but again raheem should have make it no reasonable doubt that he was the winner ...and he could have did that ...when he hit frietas with the right hand... he made it look tight as hell...i was screaming for him to throw the right hand... but he didnt ...Comment

I also agree that he could have fought better, and stopped frietas if he stepped it up, but i thought comin off his dominating victory in his big fight wit morales and frietas coming off his loss in his last BIG fight wit corrales(and the fact he quit) that frietas should of had more to prove then anyone, i didnt think he could get a bs decision like that, the crowd played a big factor i believe But hopefully raheem can get back to a big fight.Originally posted by Tyrantagree with you man...raheem definitely won the fight BUT ...raheem knew what was at stake ... he didnt fight like someone who had everything to lose ...he fought like he could coast and not do much... thats wack man... this ***** has a daughter to feed and he fought like he has been on top for years and could easily get a decision... plus he knows in the past he has gotten ****ed ...so why wouldnt you fight like there was no tomorrow ... ??? in raheems defense ... a lot of frietas came from the clinching... but again raheem should have make it no reasonable doubt that he was the winner ...and he could have did that ...when he hit frietas with the right hand... he made it look tight as hell...i was screaming for him to throw the right hand... but he didnt ...Comment

^^^ yea , i feel you on that too... crowd did play a big factor but we both know fretias is a *****...he is a quitter with no heart ...he just quit like a *****... so his career is damn near over BUT because like trinidad they have their race behind them , so matter what they will always be loved and respected... but i think raheem can rise again... he just needs for somebody to give him a chance ...i would hope he could get a rematch or at least a fight with the loser of castillo vs corrales ... but i dont know ... hes a good fighter... awesome right hand...Comment
