Collazo vs. Bert would be a very good fight.

He deserves another shot. Been pretty unlucky in the past.

the funniest thing about this story is that Collazo is the WBC #1 contender, yet those crooks were going to sell the right to fight in an eliminator to fight berto to two different fighters.

The WBC is shameless.

You mean Tito?

I think Collazo-Berto should happen at some point. It's a fight that makes to much sense for everyone involved not to happen and would be a very intriguing fight.

If Berto-Collazo comes off it should tell us a lot about Berto...

It will be the first real fight for BERTO

That is exactly why I feel the fight should be made.
Berto is a young naturally gifted athlete. This far, his pohysical abilitoes have allowed him to cruise to victory and although he has shown heart in some cases he has never truely had a gritty learning fight.
So although his physicality has been developed to near perfection, he may still be lacking in terms of ring craft and expierience.

Luis Collazo is his near polar opposite. A fighter never particularly blessed with power or strength his game is founded upon a solid foundation of skill and intellect. Whether by his corner or his own mind his fight plan is well thought out and executed, making him an extremely awkward fighter. His own flaw may be his work ethic. In terms of mavement and defence he is consistant, but in some fights he has a horrible tendnacy of dropping his output completely. However in fights such as Mosely and Hatton he illustrated that even whilst not punching he is an illusive target and a difficult man to pin down.

The matchup itself will be similar to every other Collazo fight. The opponent (BVerto) attempting to pin Collazo 9n order to land consistently, Collazo attempting to evade and counter.
But the real exciting aspect is Berto. Will he learn as the fight develops, adjust to Collazo's awkwardness and better himself as a fighter, or will he fail to solve the puzzle.

This fight is exactly the fight Berto needs and exactly the fight Luis wants.

I wouldnt be surprised if Collazo won a close decision.It will tell us alot about Berto.I would be impressed if Berto managed to stop Collazo.
