MGM Grand, Las Vegas - Former WBA welterweight champion Luis Collazo suffered a bad left hand injury during his twelve round decision loss to Amir Khan, who was making his debut at 147-pounds. Collazo, who believes he fractured some bones in the hand, was down three times in the contest. The match was positioned as the co-feature to the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Marcos Maidana welterweight unification.

Something was off last night... Still, he showed huge heart and huge cojones. Major respect to Collazo, he fought like a real man.

He was a bit arrogant in there, he paid Khan zero respect and paid for it. Guys like him pisses me off, you have to respect your opponents no matter what the myth are about them. Collazo himself has had that sort of treatment before when opponents would overlook him thinking he is the weakest fighter around. He has his hands down like he is some Greek God thinking all he needs to do was land one shot, even when he land his biggest shot khan wasn't fazed.

IDK about hand, but Collazo looked like he was out for an evening jog instead of a boxing match. :lol1: Chasing Khan around with his hands at his hips. Embarrassing.

What round did he "hurt" his hand...not that it made a difference really but I think there were a couple of rounds that he landed some shots.

Khan was too fast for Luis , and here I thought that collazo was ready to make a statement. One hand or not he looked like hammered **** in there last night. Khan did too much holding for most of the fight but, diffidently was the better man last night.
