Well, it didn't happen immediately because Freitas retired from big fights. Then he fought a couple in Brazil that nobody knew about. And Corrales went on immediately to take on Castillo and you know how that fight turned out. So from there it was the big money rematch, and then since he got to keep his belt, it was the mandatory against Casamayor. Didn't make weight so now he's at 147.

I think if you look at the records you wonder why they didn't rematch such a great bout but I don't ever think the fight was even considered. IMO, the one that should really happen and hopefully has a real shot as both have upcoming bouts at the same weight, is Barrios. That fight could be made 30 years from now and I would watch. Really can not believe they haven't had a second go round, 3.5 years after their first classic.
