    Default Acelino Freitas making a comeback

    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.
    "You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"

    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.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Its not supposed to be a fair well fight. The article says its supposed to set up a fight with an undefeated prospect.

    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
