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.
He was 29-0 with 29 KOs at one point.Quote:

Floyd called him and Casamayor out at the time. Neither bothered to reply.Quote:

Casamayor is the one who could have given Floyd problems. He was a mean, crafty bastard. Very sure of himself too.
Well people forget that before all this Money Mayweather stuff, Floyd was one of the biggest boogeymen in boxing: an ultra talented virtuoso who could not yet draw flies to shit. Floyd was one of the biggest high risk/low reward threats in boxing, and as such higher profile guys like Frietas, Casamayor, Naseem Hamed (all of whom Floyd called out publicly) wouldn't come near him.Quote:

When he realized his hardest shots weren't bothering Casamayor, he got scared and got on his bicycle. Then of course he famously bitched out and quit when guys like Corrales and Juan Diaz turned up the heat on him.
Floyd would have wiped the floor the with him. Frietas would have been lucky to go the distance with 2001 Mayweather.
[QUOTE=Hulk;1214595]Meh. Casamayor was solid but we saw how much trouble he had with Frietas. Acelino was completely gassed and fighting to survive for the last half of the fight and Casamyor couldn't do shit to him.Quote:

Casamayor and Frietas called Mayweather out as well. As did Steve Johnson at lightweight. So who's fault is it the fights didn't happen?Quote:

I remember that.. casa and freitas did call him out and from what I remember, it was floyd who was more reluctant to fight..Quote:

Casa would have gave him shitload of problems..
