I'd like to see a Freitas fight,I'd fancy the old big banging Frietas but this herky jerky unpredictable one,it would be a good fight.
He doesn't have much power but he does a lot of things well (handspeed, better defensively than you would think and he's not really that one dimensional, can jab and box a little) and even with the lack of power you look at guys he fights in the 12th round and they just seem to want it to end, constantly getting hit flush, whether there's a lot of power behind the shots or not, can take a guys heart.

I'm reserving all judgement on Corrales till I see him again. My guess is he's on the shot side, could be wrong.

I think he could beat Freitas unless he just can't take the power. I don't see Freitas outboxing him.

Either way, he needs to step it up, this fight is just flat out dissapointing.
