Agreed. But like Ruiz, I don't think it's over.

With Maxie Kellerman comparing him to Winky Wright and saying he won with confidence, with HBO loving the word "Raheem," and HBO investing in that Oprah Background check... I think we'll see Raheem more than twice on HBO.



Hmmm.... maybe HBO is jealous of Showtime's dominance with Castillo Corrales controlling 135lbs. They wanted "A new hope," such as Raheem, that was contracted by them, so that they can have an UP on Showtimes' recent success at 135lbs. Not the first time HBO is jealous of Showtime's glamour divisions. And if anybody had a chance to beat Corrales or Castillo, it'd be a boxer like Raheem. Not Acelino, who failed against Corrales.

I figured it out!

Why HBO was in love with Raheem all night.
Just like Tony fans love Margarito. I was more frustrated with Freitas' holding, since he initiated most of it by holding Zahirs head down to the point where Raheem threw Freitas down when he had Acelino hurt. I'd rather see Raheem then Freitas again tbh. I cba with Freitas atm.
