I predicted a 10th round knockout over Collazo.
Why?
Because I trust ricky to do the business, I didn't know squat about Collazo prior to the fight so I was predicting blind.
Collazo's stock has gone up because he fought well, manfully and he showed a good chin and stamina and some slick defense and combinations. He's not the finished article but he is only 25.
Hattons stock has gone up because he delivered an action packed brawl to big time American tv and he won it (albeit just) and he is the new white hope if you like, (I hate that title) and he took a champions belt in America and became a two weight world champion.
I bet that Witter is feeling bitter.
Do you honestly think Hattons stock went up in this fight? I saw a lot of technical flaws and if that was my first time seeing him i would say he has no business in the ring with floyd.
