good for him....if his heart isnt in it, he should retire....he had alot of talent but was one of my favorites when he was active but if he isnt hungry he isnt gonna get vey far....if he is serious he should try to get his weight down to settle in at junior welterweight

Omg. Are you serious? How sorry must Oliveira be if a retired 36 year old TKO'd him? Wow!

pretty sorry, i saw him fight live a few fights ago. Slow hand speed, bad footwork, sloppy fighter that was carefully matched up until this point, basically a poor mans arturo gatti, he has the heart of gatti but not the skill/speed/footwork gatti had, as for power, he obviously has some but power is good for nothing if you dont have any speed to go with it. Also dances in the ring and disrespects his opponents in fights, freitas didnt like him before this fight because of that and also apparently he didnt show much respect for popo while calling him out. This fight was personal for freitas and he made sure to take of business. I am pretty sure he will retire after this. He'd be crazy not 2.

It was televised by SporTV, a local(Brazil's) cable TV channel.

How did Frietas look at that weight and did he really carry his power to 54 or was this dude just a scrub? How was his speed & chin also

Great news! I've got to check this one out. Freitas is definitely one of my favorite fighters, and I'm glad to see him back, especially after a good win like this!

You don't go from 135 pounds and not fighting since 2007 to 154 pounds and knock out a young hungry lion, its not normal (my Flo-mo imitation)

Popo didn't look rusty at all
