    this is the fight where Corrales learned the mouthpiece trick.

    Yep Corrales was a monster in this fight. Early on looked like Freitas was going to cruise to an easy victory and corrales just took over later in the fight.

    freitas could have won this fight too. he could have moved a little less and blocked a little more. some clinching would have helped a little too.

    Freitas was the more skilled fighter he just couldn't keep up that pace the entire fight and as he tired a bit he couldn't keep corrales off him

    corrales was just the bigger, stronger pressure fighter. he wore freitas down.

    Freitas just straight up quit. He got blasted with a hook, then went down from a little punch. After that...no mas.
