Step down from Guerrero in my opinion. This is the same disinterested collazo who was leading with his face with his hands at his sides against and a jumpy and slightly skittish khan. Thurman beats the ink off that collazo, who would have probably never been heard from again if Ortiz didn't jump face first into a punch.
He could have maintained gatekeeper status if he maintained his slick southpaw style that made him a factor. The trip back down and knocking out club fighters made him thinking we was a puncher and no longer needed to be defensive or avoid punches. Shame... it was niche market he had a handle on before, pillow punching aside.
Can't agree with you, entirely. Collazo did fight a stupid fight, but I didn't see anything jumpy or skittish about Khan. I thought he jumped on Collazo and took advantage of what he saw, just like you'd expect any fighter to do.
