First steps towards it, hoping Collazo can redeem himself. Believe Luis should be considered a contender in the 147 division. Think most just look at him as a stepping stone.

Berto-Collazo II in the works! | Fightnews - Boxing News Updated 24/7
Collazo in a very good gatekeeper because of the depth of 147. If it was a less deep division, I could see him as a belt holder. I thought Berto just edged him last time and I think he'll beat him more convincingly in the rematch.Quote:

I don't see Berto losing, but he definitely could I see Collazo giving anyone in the welterwieght division a very tough fight. I mean I can't see Cotto dominating him, I think Collazo would give Miguel all sorts of problems, same with Clottey or maybe even Shane in a rematch if his hands remained healthy.
The first fight was very even. I thought Collazo did just enough, but have no real issues with Berto having the win. I would be keen on seeing how a rematch pans out.
Close 1st fight hope Collazo wins a rematch.He's good fighter had a few tight decisions that went against him.He is due a bit of look hope he gets it in this fight.
I hope Collazo capitalizes the next time he put Berto in trouble.
The first fight could have gone either way, easily a good 4 swing rounds. Tell you this much, if Collazo can come off with the same workrate he did in their first stanza, he will have a 50/50 chance of winning.
I was definately one of the people saying Collazo was robbed, was definately a close fight though. Collazo never really seemed to be hurt where as Berto was in trouble. I hope this fight doesnt show a ridiculous score. If i remember correct one judge had it 116-111 for Berto which was a bit ridiculous
Andre Berto was only ever really hurt in the first round, but he come right back and hurt Luis Collazo in the same round. He also badly hurt Luis Collazo with a body shot in the last round.Quote:

He comeback well in the later rounds but Andre Berto, clearly won the 12th round which won him the fight IMO.
I think Andre Berto may beat Luis Collazo a bit more convincingly in the rematch, he's major problem was he was squaring himself too much on the inside.
Plus his inside game isn't his strong point anyway, when he kept the fight in the middle of the ring. Using his speed, jab, he was winning the fight. If he can do that instead of getting lured on the inside.
He should win the fight more comfortably, and he doesn't need to clinch either vs Luis Collazo. He just needs to use his speed, jab, athletism.
Gotta give some credit to Collazo in that fight though his workrate was nothing short of phenomenal until the championship rounds. He just kept throwing and throwing and throwing.Quote:

Andre Berto was never hurt in the first fight. He was off-balance when Collazo hit him in the first round, that's why he stumbled backwards. If he was hurt at all it was in a very minor way, I don't understand why people keep bringing that up.
Looking forward to this. I see it being a repeat of their 1st meeting, s at least that's something to look forward to. I still see Berto winning another close decision.
I see it a bit different bro i thought his workrate was good, but it wasn't consistent enough IMO. In the middle rounds he went totally to sleep, in one round he just dropped his hands and didn't throw nothing for about 30 seconds, what the hell was that all about ?Quote:

He made a good stand in the 10th and 11th rounds, but he was gassed in the 12th round. And i think the middle rounds let him down badly, i don't know whether or not he took those rounds off, so he could make a stand in those rounds i mentioned.
Thinking maybe he would be able to drop Andre Berto late, or whatever but all i know is that those vital middle rounds cost him the fight. He just wasn't active enough in the middle rounds.
