DENVER -- Former lightweight and junior lightweight titlist Acelino “Popo” Freitas is now a congressman in his native Brazil, but he still is involved in boxing. His 20-year-old nephew, Vitor Jones de Oliveira, who is like a son to Freitas, is on Saturday night’s Mike Alvarado-Ruslan Provodnikov card and Freitas and brother Luiz Freitas, train him. Jones de Oliveira -- who won his pro debut by first-round knockout in July 2012 but had the result changed to a no decision after testing positive for a banned substance -- faces Denver’s Martin Quesada (2-7, 2 KOs) in a four-round junior lightweight fight.
