Comments Thread For: Acelino Freitas Set To Return, Faces Martinez in November

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Former four-time world champion and Brazilian idol, Acelino "Popo" Freitas, is coming back for what he promises to be his last fight. At 42 years old, Freitas (40-2, 34 KO's) was not supposed to return after his last fight on August 2015, when he knocked out Argentinean Mateo Veron in only three rounds. But Freitas, like many other boxers through history, had a problem with retirement, specially in keeping it that way. On November 11th, the hard-hitter from Salvador, Bahia, will be fighting on Belem, Para, against Mexican Gabriel "El Rey" Martinez (29-10-1, 16 KO's), a fight that he's been, once again, affirming will be his last one.
