By Patrick Kehoe - Dreams and God understood as fate and the willfulness to challenge the best fighters in a division, how the internal currents within a fighter swirl, coalescing as belief, patterns forming in the mouth, spoken, from what we take to be the heart and mind concurrently. We all need to believe deeply, before action moves us toward ambition, mission.
“… On the 28th, I will win another world title; for the fifth time, I will become a world champion because that's my destiny. That's what God wants of me and that's how it's going to be. Nothing is going to change it,” Acelino Freitas, WBO lightweight champion says, as if reciting a personal creed.
“I have dreamed about this, it is my dream and I will make it happen. Once again, I will be champion, my fifth world championship title, on the 28th!”
Translations from Portuguese may vary, but the keywords remain consistent for Brazil’s “Popo” Freitas. He still believes in a mission to conquer – typically the preserve and fixation of audacious youth – even five months shy of his 32nd birthday. Not that 32 is old any longer, but, these are lightweights – he and WBA champion Juan Diaz, the unfashionable youth in this showdown five months shy of 24 – so age may be more than a state of mind, as we explore possibilities.
