Streams kept collapsing so I gave up on it in the end. Will download a copy when I get the chance so I can judge this. If a fight is close though, it can't be called a robbery. So if you had it 114-113 Collazo and it was given the other way, hard to call that a robbery. I'll watch it and judge for myself though.
Yep; Margarito will hospitalize Berto and I soooo look forward to seeing it happen, hopefully. And Cotto will work that boy too.....At worst it was a draw; but Collazo won that fight.....116/111 is ridiculous to say the least. I look forward to watching Berto get knocked out brutally.
No he isn't he's still learning Luis Collazo is a very good fighter, i don't know why Andre Berto is getting alot of hate. He showed alot of heart to pull out those last 2 rounds, he's exciting he's good for the sport so why hate ? he won a close decision that could of gone either way.
Really like to see your scores for everyone saying it was a robbery that is a strong word to through around for me i dont think this fight was that.
116-111 is obviously ridiculous, but I didn't have a problem with 114-113. I wouldn't have had a problem with it either way.
HBO notes: Harold Lederman had Luis winning round 7. Luis held his hands down, threw seldom, and landed only 4 punches to Berto's 21. I couldn't believe it when I saw that.
Bob is apparently unaware of the fact that there was no official KD in round 1.
Ok maybe the term robbery is to strong, but fuck I'm telling you if that was another fighter and not berto collazo would have gotten the nod, berto got the nod cause he's hbo's darling, and that's bullshit. I mean 116-111 that should tell you something is amiss, there is no way in the world that you can convince me collazo only won 3 rounds in that fight. Complete bull
Well i scored it 114-113 for Berto i though Collazo gave away rounds at the end and had it close going into the 11 and i thought Berto won the 11 and then won the 12 which sealed it for him showed alot of hart he took to many shots and wish he box more i think Cotto might have problems if he gets hit becasue of his chin Margrito is all wrong for Betro and Williams is a no winner in my view he does not have much chance against Williams but not to many people do so i dont know whats the deal.
I can agree that it was not a 'Robbery' by truest definition but Bertos Power is Hugely overrated.His speed translates to power and tonight he relied on one or two at a time,not explosive combination punching and getting out.Cotto is a question mark to me off Tony loss....but Imo if he played shot for shot with Mosley,Shane would knock him out.Most likely he'll rematch Collazo,no doubt
Before they announced the decision, I half expected some kind of screwy decision. The the two extra points in Collazo's favour, made a pretty close fight a convincing one for Collazo. 116-111 is fucking disgrace and that guy should be shot.
Collazo deserves an immediate rematch, anything less is criminal. Berto no way won that fight.
To say its a robbery, is just plain dumb... There were a few swing rounds that could have been scored either way...
Collazo is a tough,tough fighter who showed out tonite... He threw 200 more punches then Berto, but Andre landed more and threw the harder shots..
Luis makes people look bad because he is a slick southpaw.. I agree 116-111 was retarded, but it was far from a robbery and even Luis himself admitted that 116-111 was ridiculous that it should have been 114-113 on all three cards... He admitted himself he lost
Andre fought an ugly fight plain and simple, but he showed heart and determination and like Kellerman said another dimension and another gear..
All of the greats have had ugly fights were they looked like not elite, but they dig it out, go back to the gym and make adjustments
Collazo is a stylistic nightmare for anyone, people before the fight were proclaiming Luis was a good fighter and would beat Berto, Andre beats him and then your hating on his win from beating a good fighter...
Miles I feel the same way but I've read some of the comments here and I'm thinking maybe I was rooting to dam hard for collazo and it clouded my judgement cause some people seem to think berto took fight. I don't know at the end of the day I just feel like there was some shady shit going on due to the 116-111 score that's just bogus!!!
Great fight, although I thought Collazo should've won it. Gotta protect that "0". Anyway, I don't see Berto as a threat to any of the truly elite WW's, namely Cotto and Margarito. Cotto will maim him, and Margarito will bury him.
