In my opinion, the American fight fans didn't get to see the real Hitman.

Collazo was tricky. He gave Hatton lots of problems. He was forced to hold on the inside and wasn't able to use his great boxing skills to win the fight convincingly. It was a tough fought 12 rounds but Ricky came out on top.

Some members of the boxing media suggested the fight could have gone either way while others believed completely that Collazo should have kept his belt.

If the fight had been declared a draw, I, and many others (possibly including Collazo) would have been happy. Ricky didn't forcefully take the title from the champion but he put up a great effort and deserved to be rewarded for his hard work.

However, I am delighted for Ricky that he won the belt and I hope he will come back to the States and show his real talent.
