HATTON TIPS COLAZO TO GIVE MOSLEY HELL

[Swashbuckling Gordy]

I think Shane will find him out down the stretch although i do rate Collazo highly !!

He can punch from Awkward angles and is a master of distance , Shane will have his work out cutting down the ring on this guy he is not a runner but a tricky fluffer.

Id fancy Collazo against Magarito because somethimes Antonio walks into punches more ,leans and is sometimes off balance .


Shane show glimpses of his old self against Vargas that split second counter punching that use to put people away .

I do think Shane has slowed down though so Collazo might be getting him at the right time , i don't think he'll fight the fight Fernando fought which was clumbsy and foolhardy .

Nice to see all you guys are vastly overratting Collazo's chances.

I'll say it here and now, Mosely will knock him out with 8 rounds.

It won't be close, Collazo will get brutalised.

No way. It will go the distance, and my main contention is if Mosley really thinks he can outwork Collazo down the stretch. Mosley may very well get old this weekend...

I remember you disagreeing with my prediction that Pacquaio would destroy Morales inside 6 rounds as well Miles

We live and dies by our choices Mr baggins!

Swings and roundabouts, some we lose, others we get just right...

I had a similar discussion with Hulk earlier, and again a friendly for the guy disagreeing with me. Namely you Bilbo and not Hulk for the second time...

Ive outlined my reasons elsewhere on other threads, but I think Collazo is very decent and his performance against Hatton underlines just how good I think Hatton is and that both fighters have not recieved enough respect. Collazo is young and looking to build. And he will test Mosley, Im sure of this. Mosley is the favourite and ive never denied this, but I think Collazo has a very healthy chance...

returned, it's always good to have different viewpoints. Personally I like to make a bold prediction beforehand so that it makes viewing the fight more fun. I'm confident that I won't have any egg on my face after this one though. Mosely to win in style and set himself up for the winner of Mayweather De La Hoya.

I agree, that its better to state both sides and then go for who you think will win. Sitting on the fence is indeed just boring! Mosley is nearly 36 though, Bilbo, he is nearly at the end. I like to keep repeating that a changing of the guard is due.

Collazo wont be waiting to be hit...Mosley has slowed down and he doesnt throw big combos. He cant. He is moving down at 35 years of age. He will gain nothing from that...

I completely agree. People want to give Collazo too much credit for the Hatton fight, yet these same people admit emphatically that Hatton was nowhere near as effective or as good in general at 147. What people aren't thinking of, and I said this yesterday, Hatton didn't have any problem hitting Collazo often. His problem was that Collazo was the stronger man who could take his shots, and Ricky couldn't take his later on, or out muscle him on the inside. Mosley is both faster and more powerful than Ricky, as well as much stronger with a much better beard, at welterweight.. I don't think Collazo will be able to handle his power whatsoever, or put a dent on him, and therefore won't be able to unload offensively like he could with Ricky.

I'll bet the British Troll is holdin his breath hopin Collzo gives Mosley hell or possibly even pulls off the upset. Too bad it ain't gonna happen. I expect Collazo to win up to 4 rounds, but no more. Mosley should win a clear UD. Now IF Mosley were fighting Hatton instead of Collazo, I'd pick Mosley by KO.

The thing is is that Collazo is just so tricky and slick. Mosley is fast but not really the most accurate. I'm just wondering how the exchanges are going to be. Collazo is a very hard fighter to figure out, a very versatile fighter who can give fits from all distances. He can steal a lot of rounds before you can find your groove. I'm predicting a controversial Mosley decision.

Is that a SD or a UD?

I have no idea I just put decision down for the prediction contest. I'm bad enough at predicting fights to begin with, predicting how the judges score is a whole nother animal.

[ArawakWarria]

Definitely agree it could be potential FOTY. But you have to ask, which Mosley will show up? One punch, or combinations?

I'm with you on this. I think Mosley is going to punish Collazo
