looked at good old boxrec and it says he has two fight lined up for him. But what i dont understand is there so close together and the oppostion is good. first he fights Julio Diaz and then Jonathan Thaxton to defend his WBO Lightweight belt. I personally think the Julio Diaz fight is alot tougher than the Thaxton one. I wonder how he will handle him
The person who he knocked out for the WBO super feather championship (Barry Jones) runs the gym me mate goes to in Hounslow.
Mate id fancy Diaz to beat Freitas at this point in time, JOHN THAXTON SI THIS FOR REAL??????????? WHAT THE FUCK HAS JOHN THAXTON DONE LAST TIME I SAW HIM WAS IN A BLOODBATH WITH HATTON ABOUT 6 YEARS AGO!!Quote:

Yea Julio Diaz is a dangerous fight, would make for a hell of a fight with Freitas as well.. Though I thought that Raheem would too.... :-\
I wish Freitas went back to his banging,power punching days where he would just blast his way past opponents rather than this herky jerky odd style.
It still won't erase his quit job against CorralesQuote:

Mate Diaz is a great fighter and id say would be favourite to beat Freitas, what has thaxton done i wouldnt want to see that fight?Quote:
