I had it 114-113 (Berto v Collazo)

[RozzySean]

Do you guys even realize the pace they were going?

You got this right. Collazo was gassed those rounds. It wasn't stupidity. This fight should have been a draw. The point shouldn't have been taken from Berto, and it was rounds to 6-6. Collazo was in with a man with far superior physical gifts, but he proved what skill can do against, even in the face of talent like Berto's.

I didn't see skill in Collazo favor, maybe on the inside, it was purely workrate, Berto on the outside was clearly outboxing COllazo when they were actually boxing, but Collazo was using those light, but numourous punches on the inside, and Berto had a hard time dealing with it.

The factor on the outside was Berto's speed. I was actually surprised at how many shots, even on the outside, Collazo was able to slip, and considering the speed advantage of Berto, the battle from the outside was much close than it should have been. That was skill, not workrate, and Collazo chewed him him up on the inside.

There was some shoeshine on the inside, once Collazo started to tire, but earlier, Collazo was chewing him up with meaningful shots during the infighting. Collazo landed a number of clean shots from the the outside. When they were in tight, Berto really had no answer at any point. Berto got a generous decision in this one. A very generous decision. And the reason he got it was that he won some close rounds with is speed and he clearly won the 12th, finding gear we didnt' know he possessed. This fight was all about his physical ability.

Also, Cotto has a better jab than Collazo. Collazo is a bit faster, sure, but Cotto has a punishing jab. I'm not sure Collazo was any faster than Mosley, and I know for sure that Berto doesn't have Mosley's chin. If Berto steps it up beyond Collazo, he sort out some of the flaws in his game.
