Freddie Norwood (born February 14, 1970) is an American professional boxer . Known as "Lil Hagler", Norwood defeated Antonio Cermeño to win the WBA Featherweight Title in 1998. He successfully defended his title eight times before losing his title by a controversial 11th-round TKO to Derrick Gainer . Among his notable defenses were a 9th-round KO over former WBC featherweight champion Takashi Koshimoto , a unanimous decision victory over former WBO featherweight champ Julio Pablo Chacón , and future IBF and WBA Featherweight titleholder Juan Manuel Márquez . After losing his title to Gainer, Norwood retired from boxing, age 30. Eight years later he made a comeback and had another 8 fights winning 5, and finally retiring age 41.
