Any Brazilian fans here,.,,aka,,,will Freitas just be remembered as a quitter?

[Illmatic]

I couldnt believe he went outlike that against Diaz after what happened against Corrales....so please discuss

[sues2nd]

Nah...he was a very very good fighter at one point. Quiting twice doesnt diminish that.

Plenty of greats have said No Mas...

Not to say Freitas was a great....but he was damn good at one point.

[Illmatic]

You can live down one no Mas, but two? IDK...

I agree...I didnt think the first one was as bad as people made it out to be, but with the second one, that sealed his legacy

[Illmatic]

and what about Kelson Pinto? Did that brazilian quit after losing to Vince Phillips?

no brazilians on here, huh...

[Thor]

Not a Brazilian, but the fact that he's celebrating after that second quitting is what gets me.

I'm not Brazilian, but I'm living in Brazil right now.

The feeling here seems to be that he was too successful in other areas and not hungry enough for boxing. Nobody really thinks that badly of him for it.

[SweetScienceFan]

I think it would be pretty foolish to look upon him in that way. Not everyone's career follows the same path. Freitas seems to be one of those guys who splashed in with a vengence and then burnt out on the sport.

I saw the most prettiest Brazilian girl tourist last weekend in Amsterdam.

I think of her when I hear Brazil.


Oh my fucking lord, you would not believe the girls here.

I'm not a Brazilian, I'm just a fight fan who happens to be an unrepentant yank and from my side of things he's a sucker.

That bothered me most of all. He parades around the ring and pounds his heart, taking away from Juan Diaz's moment and acting as though he's entitled to the spotlight after quitting on the stool because he is beloved Popo Freitas. Better yet, he ducks out of the ring after that act and declines interview. We don't hear a word explaining his actions for weeks, and even then, it's only a statement of the obvious: that he's quitting boxing for good.

Comebacks after retirement annoy me enough, but I'm not sure anyone's return from retirement could annoy me more than if Freitas does it after this behavior.

I figured he was saying goodbye to all his Brazilian fans in attendance so I was ok with it.

but now he's talking of fighting one more time :?

[salsanchezfan]

I can't speak for Brazilians, but perhaps the culture is different there. Maybe they don't require that a warrior go out on his shield the way we do. Personally, I am a product of my own culture, and want to see a guy not accept defeat so easily, so I can't call myself a fan. Who knows, maybe this kind of thing is acceptable there.


They do, however, claim Jofre as their own, and that's plenty. :smoke Jofre was The Man in big fucking capital letters.

Heard anything on Pinto?

[Farmboxer]

I will remember Freitas as a devasting puncher until Oscar Suarez becamse his trainer, then he took up ballet.

yes it does
