Michael Oliveira (born April 24, 1990) is a Brazilian professional boxer.[1]
Professional career[edit]
On September 11, 2009 Oliveira beat Robert Kliewer to win the UNBC Latin middleweight title.[2]
On June 2, 2012 Oliveria lost a fight to former multiple world champion Acelino Freitas.[3]
End of career[edit]
Michael Oliveira was a welcome revelation from Brazilian boxing. Despite the defeat for Acelino "Popó" Freitas, it was seen as the future of Brazil. But on his way Norberto Gonzalez appeared. In 2013, in a duel of 10 rounds, the Brazilian not only knew his second defeat. When losing in the unanimous decision, the "Brazilian Rocky" felt bad and with a clot in the brain spent a few days hospitalized. The episode ended his career.
