    Two of my favorite fighters.

    Not Rafa's best division, Naz has the freshness & maybe size advantage (though not by much if at all, Rafa is taller too iirc). Couple that with Rafa's aggression/willingness to mix it up, and I think Hamed stops him mid-rounds after getting dropped hard himself.

    Fun fight, Hamed gets off his butt and knocks Rafa out around the 7th

    Hamed Definitely STRUGGLES w/Marquez Initially, but he Regroups & Takes him Out in 5 or Less...It's a Lil' Man SLUGFEST, Similar to Hamed-Kelley...

    Marquez's Chin was NEVER All that Reliable...JMM was Fairly Easy to Hurt Himself, but Raffy's Chin was even WORSE...

    which Hamed we talking about? The version with his old corner in there and with combination punching or the version who fired his trainer and became a 1 punch head hunter?
