Raposo is a super impressive young man. I do think he is better sized for flyweight but he’s still looked great at bantamweight. So far, I haven’t seen anything not to like about Raposo. If there’s any knock on him, it’s that he hasn’t fought the best competition, and that might play a factor in why he’s looked so good. He has still performed very well and that’s going the distance in his last two fights, and his entire amateur career. So, he’s had a lot of cage time and he has hit on all cylinders. I like his chances on this season.
