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...
Maybe people should also watch Ali-Doug JOnes, Ali-Norton,... there were a lot of fights where he looked bad, Roy JOnes vs Montell Griffin 1, Mayweather vs Castillo I, Leonard-Duran 1, Duran-De Jesus I, Robinson-Lamotta I, Robinson-Turpin I, Robinson-Basilio. I was surprised Berto came in such bad shape, I mean he weighed in at 153-154 against Forbes, he should have done that tonight, there is no excuse for him being that heavy. He has the technical ability, he just needs to work on maintaining that concentration. We've seen Chad Dawson outbox guys like Tarver, Harding, Adamek, all really good fighters, but when he went in against a high output guy with a great chin, he really had difficulties. Collazo is a worldclass fighter who really only lost other fights because he was gunshy, but he was the furthest thing from gunshy tonight. Great fighters can have bad nights, its part of the game, but they also know how to dig deep, they also have amazing talent. I think this will make Berto a way better boxer, and certainly hasn't made me think he is worse than I originally did. Collazo is a really good fighter who fought the best he could possibly fight.
