Showtime put on some great Lightweight fights in the early to mid 2000’s. Acelino Freitas vs Chico Corrales is a forgotten classic. Showtime’s “Great Fights, No Rights!” was their answer to the “Showcase” mismatch fights that often littered HBO’s Boxing schedule at the time.
Love the notebook. I thought I was the only guy that thought so highly of Freitas. I believe he is a Hall of Hamer. Hopefully that happens soon.
