Acelino Freitas

[Tam Seddon]

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!!

I dont think either fight is confirmed, but I hope he takes the Diaz fight. Diaz is a warrior and will fight anyone, he also stands a good chance against Freitas. I don't have much interest in the Thaxton fight.

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 Corrales

He would have been beaten a lot faster if he didn't. It's better for him to box just incase his power won't bail him out and both styles would make trouble for him against Raheem. But Freitas' herk style with Raheem's slick style make for a not so pretty match Not to take anything away from either but that was a fight of two styles clashing that didnt make the other look good, but neither is a bad fighter.

I agree V.D. I still can't believe he threw in the towel like that.

why is he fighting julio? when he has the defence against thaxton surely is should be the other way around?

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?

Thaxton is definately not up to par with Freitas it would not be as decisive as when Hatton beat him, but to John's credit the total records of the guys he has lost to are 113 wins-15 losses -4 draws. Four of the guys were undefeated.

Freitas v. Diaz would be a war, I would love to see that one.
