Probably the worst FNF card on paper we've had this year so far.
At first I thought that the Cruz Raheem was facing was Cruz Carbajal and I thought this might be fairly entertaining. But that's not who this is Cristobal Cruz whom I know absolutely nothing about other then the fact that he has an underwhelming record.
Raheem hasn't been overly impressive himself though. He looked good against Rocky Juarez and Erik Morales, but then looked absolutely terrible against Freitas. How people thought he could have won that fight is completely beyond me, one of the more frustrating fights in recent memory.
He is a slick guy, fairly fast he actually reminds me a little bit of Cory Spinks right down to the stupid ring entrances. Stays on the outside and tries to do his work getting inside and then leaving. But unlike Spinks, Raheem throws one punch at a time and after that one punch he'll just grab on and then bend over.
I expect this one to go the distance and not be particulary exciting.
Nobody of real note on the undercard except a guy named Michael Torres who has been fighting on some good undercards. He is a welterweight facing some no hoper. And Richard Hall but he isn't a shell of what he used to be, although his fight against Letterlough was exciting but he didn't even look like he wanted to be in the ring against Johnson.
Bit disappointing after the fantastic card they put on the last 2 Wednesdays.
