I fancy Luis to win this fight via split but it will be close. Clottey hits fairly hard but not massively so and I'm not sure how good he is at catching someone elusive like Luis. Collazo is not a huge puncher but he has very fast,accurate,short sharp punches and is excellent at countering.

I don't think Clotteys style is good for chasing an elusive fighter. It's better for either standing his ground and trading or being chased. It'll be an excellent fight either way.
Just shows how stacked the WW division is, that these guys aren't at the top of the ladder.. Both damn good boxers, I think this will be one hell of a fight. Your right that Clottey might not be as effective vs someone slick, as all we've really seen him shine against are rugged come forward bangers, Baldo, Margartio, Corrales etc. But Collazo isn't exactly a Pernell Whittaker, he stands his ground and fights in the pocket alot of the time as well, I can't really pick a winner here. I guess I'm leaning slightly towards Clottey wearing him down to the body and coming on big late in the fight, but each guy bring a lot to the table that the other have never seen.. The easy pick for me, is that either of these guys will beat Cintron, least imo. I give Kermit a better chance against Collazo as he may have enough power to take the wheels of Luis early on. I think Clottey would just hang tough with Cintron and break him down slowly.
