People forget that Hatton had very little problem hitting Collazo, it was the counter punching that gave him so much trouble... But Shane is alot faster and more powerful than Ricky at welterweight, or at least he should be. If he uses good movement and combinations I don't expect Collazo to last very long. Don't be surprised if he ends up counting lightbulbs.
Lol while i think it will be a closer fight (maybe i am blinded by my faith in hatton ) and possibly would consider having a flutter on Collazo, i had to laugh at your conclusion of the fight. I'd click you for that but i already have done today. Maybe tomorrow
Yea. Hatton fans all seem to hope Collazo will win this one.. But at the same time I don't think anyoen can deny Hatton is not well suited to welterweight and didn't have the punch or workrate he had shown previously when he fought Collazo. Mosley is, that's all.. I think that he really has shaken off some cobwebs since losing to Wright again and returning to welter, but I always thought it was slightly dumb of him to then move up to 154 again for Vargas. I seem to remember he didn't weigh in much over 150 though, so Im just expecting him to look as good as he did against Vargas, which wasn't great, but it'll be enough I think. It's not as if Collazo has been tested like this before, Mosley will be hitting him a lot harder than Hatton was, and Collazo won't be able to put a dent on him Shane has a great chin, he's taken big punches at 154 and stood up to them fine. I think Collazo's cuteness, or defence is slightly overrated, the only thing that stopped Hatton from constantly hitting him was that Collazo could hurt him back with counter shots. If he can't budge Mosley on the inside, I see him crumbling somewhere along the line.
