Upon hearing that the supposedly retired Acelino Freitas has called out the new WBC lightweight champ Joel Casamayor, he told BoxingTalk, "Didn't he retire? I told him to stay retired and now that chicken wants to come out and talk garbage." Casamayor goes on to give Freitas a personal message saying, "Stop talking at the WBO convention. I have the WBC and the Ring belts, but let's make this fight happen. I'll fight you anytime, anywhere, PERIOD!!!"
