Good for him! Whoop up on one of these mma plugs for a nice paycheck.

He looks like a broad, wtf?

I remember Freitas, a very exciting power puncher.

He had that hard fight with Corrales, God bless his soul.

Avelino might be in his forties now, but the power stays with you.

So, he could have a few nice money making bouts, whether crossover fights or exhibitions. Him and Floyd could have a competitive exhibition.

That was a badass fight, the Argentina vs Brazil rivalry made it even better.

"Freitas – arguably Brazil’s most renowned boxing champion "

I guess it depends on who you're arguing with.

By a 100 miles Brazil's best ever boxer was Eder Jofre.
