Zahir Raheem
Zahir Raheem (born November 7, 1976 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is an American boxer. Known as "King Raheem", his current professional record stands at 33 wins, 3 losses with 20 knockouts.

Morales was a heavy favorite and the matchup was viewed as warmup for his already scheduled superfight against Manny Pacquiao.
