They are fighting April 18th on Friday Night Fights. This fight will determine one of Nate Campbell's mandatories. I believe it's for the IBF mandatory spot, but I'm not 100% sure... it could be for the WBA. thoughts and predictions?
I'm not crazy about either fighter. Raheem can make any fight ugly, but I've been less than impressed by Diamond, particularly since he got a gift decision against that Huerta kid in New York last summer. I would not be surprised to see Raheem win an ugly decision.
id go with Raheem. he did his business his last fight when he knocked that dude out in the first round. i think he's hungry and will work hard to get to a bigger payday. edit: Rahim's last fight. 1st round ko. [YT]JmXg6_WwkLY[/YT]
Raheem got skills, the man can box. I can see why some people find him boring though..he may not have a 1 punch KO,however he has enough to keep you honest. personally I like this guy I find myself drawn to his slick style ,good speed, slick, and great skills.
Hopefully they both stink the joint up and never get shown on TV agian. I was humilated to watch Diamond awared that gift agianst Huerta and Zaheer Raheem is the only guy ive ever seen have a boring fight with either Freitas or Morales let alone both.
I used to like Kid Diamond, but the Huerta fight left me cold. If there's anything worse than watching your guy get screwed, it's watching your guy get a gift and then act like it was legit! Boo
