... and I defended him!!

When Freitas quit against Corrales, I was one of the first to say that people were overreacting. He had been dropped 3 times by a very hard puncher, and had likely watched his lead disappear in the process. Freitas had no answers for staying away from that power... and the - go out on your shield - mentality doesn't have to apply to everyone. That is why it is special when we do find in someone... such as Corrales himself.
However, now I think Freitas has presented new evidence. After quitting on his stool against Juan Diaz last Saturday, Popo has defintiely proved himself a quitter. The close fights he has pulled out were tactical battles (Casamayor and Raheem). When someone wants to get rough with him... he quits. Diaz had wobbled him in the 8th round, but at no time was this an unwinable fight for Freitas. All the "Baby Bull" had done was add a jab, and win 4 rounds in a row; pulling ahead on the scorecards.
Freitas could have begun doubling up the jab to counteract the damage Diaz was doing with his jab, and stood his ground for the next couple of rounds. This was the time when he needed to smack his young opponent with something to earn his respect. A puncher like Freitas could've accomplished this, if only he was willing to try.
Simply put, he has other things he can do (and is doing). Freitas is a promoter now, and doesn't seem to have the fighter's heart to match his ability. For a mulitple division beltholder, it is hard to stay motivated anyway, let alone when fighting is no longer the main way you are paying your bills.
