He seems to have gained a little at a higher weight but I can't really judge that by the Ortiz fight as Ortiz ran into that punch with his eyes closed and doubled the force on it. Even then, I think Ortiz had enough to make an attempt to get up, but as usual, once his hype train gets derailed... his heart shrinks and his b@ll$ leave town...
I think collazo can see that first kangaroo jousting punch from Khan coming a mile away, even if hes slowed a little overtime. Its the flurry that comes after that may look like there's damage being done. Collazo has to throw caution to the wind in this fight and chase Khan out of the exchanges and finish everything that khan starts..He can land what he needs to that way. He doesn't necessarily have to have heavy hands to wobble khan as is so enamored with his own offense than he never thinks about whats coming back in the exchanges. That's why every crude banger that was willing to stand and throw with khan has made contact, seemingly against the odds.
I think Khan starts out playing this one safe in light of his recent past record, costing him some stroke in the mayweather fight. He'll try to use his long arms and Kangaroo hopping style to throw collazo's timing off, flurry and then stay away. After he thinks he has a handle on Collazo, he'll take his eye off the ball and get a little too close for his own good. If Collazo wobbles him, better believe that collazo sees this as his last shot and will look to finish with Khan trying to escape on rubber legs. If it's at the end of the round or Khan escapes and regains his discipline... or even for the sake of novelty, khan learns how to clinch and last long enough to be reminded in between rounds of the money he's p*ssing away. Khan could try to stay on his bike for the rest of the fight. As usual, this one will be decided by khans discipline.
