Anyone think he can still be relevant ?
The guy seemed to have lost his heart and taste for boxing in his last couple of fights. Quitting and such.

Acelino Freitas Back on 9/24, Oliveira in December? - Boxing News
Thoughts ?
Anyone think he can still be relevant ?
The guy seemed to have lost his heart and taste for boxing in his last couple of fights. Quitting and such.
I read last month this was basically a "fairwell" fight. Or in other words a dip your toe in the pool- payday fight ?! He was fun but a bit trumped up as a fierce slugger with patch work defense. I think he's a spent shell and needs to stay in the pasture.
This is not a good idea.
Acelino damaged his legacy over his last couple of fights. If this is a farewell fight then good, but the danger is he gets a taste of it and wants more. A bit like JCC Superstar carried on until he got beat.
Its not supposed to be a fair well fight. The article says its supposed to set up a fight with an undefeated prospect.Quote:

I know this is old news, but the recent satisfaction of Maidana vs. Broner brought this fight to mind.
Justice is very rarely served in boxing.
But, this is another case where a punk got what he deserved.

But beyond that..... this was my favorite sentence from the article:
"Add in the fact that Oliveira, nicknamed "The Brazilian Rocky," is a lot closer to John Duddy on a bad night than a legitimate star, and you have a recipe for a fighter I just cannot like as a boxing fan. He was pure hype in a way that Canelo Alvarez or Julio Cesar Chavez Jr would find obnoxious. There was nothing to him."
Priceless!!
:cool:
Frietas was a murderous puncher in his day.
