It's being reported on the current scene that Freitas has decided to call it a day and concentrate on being a promotor.

Good luck to him. A wise decision I think, was probably unlikely to accomplish much more at this point in his career.

the superfeather/lightweight division when it had Freatas, Corrales, Castillio and Mayweather was my favorite to watch at the time.

Interesting considering he is coming off a career best (maybe) win over Raheem. Still some big fights out there for him, and some money to be made. Although I suspect he's made his money in the ring, now he feels he can make a comparable ammount without being lamped for a living.

Were you at the Moore - Macklin fight in a grey t-shirt taking pictures ringiside, REAL_DEAL? Thought I caught a glimpse of you after the knockout, while Matt Macklin was being attended too. Sorry if this is wrong, and thus weird.

Well, it wasn't what he was implying after Raheem.

There are so many avenues for him.... There's the Corrales vs Casamyor winner for kick off.

I'm quite stunned at this decision and a little dissapointed as a fight fan - but, hey he doesn't need it financially - so good on him is what I can say, and best of luck.

I think he got out at the right time, he's definitely not the fighter he was.

Hopefully signing with Sports Network could well get Graham the Vacant WBO shot.
