A brutal one too. I seen Olivera fight. And it's not that he's that good that's the problem for Frietas. It's that he's a fucking middleweight. Frietas was at his best at 130. And never fought above 135. Even at a catch weight it's got mistake written all over it for Frietas



This is why none of us makes a living predicting fights.



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!!
