		Fighting in front of a hostile crowd, the powerful Freitas (130) continuously unleashed his lethal brand of leather, scoring three knockdowns in four rounds as he ground down the stubborn Ramirez (130) and forced referee Geno Rodriguez to call a halt to the proceedings at :19 mark.
		The versatile Freitas, 5'6", zipping in and out, repeatedly tagged the outclassed Ramirez, 5'7 1/2", with an assortment of accurate righthands to the head and solid lefthooks to the midsection as he made the challenger miss and the first round unfolded.
		In control and swapping shots, Freitas was thrown to the canvas and referee Geno Rodriguez somehow ruled it a knockdown as the Brazilian shook his head in disbelief.

		Freitas shook his head in acknowledgement of Ortega's commands then indicated he was done and walked toward the sanctuary of his corner.

		Freitas answered the opening bell very aggressively, but was unable to land many clean blows as a result of Casamayor's extremely tight defense.

		Brazilian Acelino “Popo” Freitas defended his WBO and WBA Super Feather Weight Title this past Saturday in what turned out to be a fierce battle against little known Argentine, Jorge Barrios, who upped his stock this weekend with his show of heart and determination.

		Freitas had escaped with a TKO victory in a fight where he proved he could face serious adversity and still come out on top.

		In fact, too many of Freitas’; recent fights have seen him take a more measured approach to his craft, leaving behind the free-swinging ‘all or nothing’ style that made him a superstar in his native Brazil, and must-see TV on this side of the pond.
		There was one exception to the ‘mature’ Freitas though, a war of attrition with Jorge Barrios in August of 2003 that saw Freitas hit the floor twice before roaring back to stop the Argentinean in the 12th and final round.
		Freitas adapted to Barrios’ awkward style and brought in the ol’ equalizer - his concussive power - putting Barrios to the floor late in the 11th before finishing the job a round later.
