Patricio “Pitbull” Friere continues to amaze myself and many other fans. Amazing Featherweight talent at 35 years old dominated 29 year old Adam Borics.

Pitbull amazing as advertised against Borics, Straight arrow punches, Strong ground control as Pitbull built like a brick. Patricio was technically superior, HIGHER IQ. Perfectly timed defending takedowns that lead to unanimous win. Outclassed the 29 year old Featherweight in his prime.
