Freddie Norwood

Freddie Norwood

Freddie Norwood (born February 14, 1970 in St. Louis, Missouri) is a boxer in the lightweight division. Known as "Lil Hagler", Norwood defeated Antonio Cermeño to win the WBA Featherweight Title title in 1998. He successfully defended his title eight times before losing his title by a controversial 11th round TKO to Smoke Gainer. Among his notable defenses were a 9th round KO over former WBC Featherweight Title holder Takashi Koshimoto, a unanimous decision victory over former WBO Featherweight Title holder Julio Pablo Chacon and former IBF and WBA Featherweight title holder Juan Manuel Marquez. After losing his title to Gainer, Norwood retired from boxing.

Comeback

After a six year hiatus, Norwood returned to boxing in 2006 and fought several fights against journeyman competition at the lightweight level.

Norwood lost in the 5th fight of his comeback, a controversial disqualification by the referee for repeated low blows against Johnny Edwards. They fought a rematch in May 2008, with Edwards knocking out Norwood in the 7th round.
