the 1st round KD is the thing that sealed the deal for ricky. you people who have the balls to call yourselves "boxing fans" need to remember something:
points are scored on clean punching, effective aggressiveness , ring generalship, and defense.
neither fighter did much on defense, collazo got the clean punching mostly, ring generalship went to ricky for keeping his man on the ropes and getting in close, and if you say collazo gets effective aggressivness, i'll twist ur nuts off.
granted, it was a very close fight. i had it 115-112 for hatton. hatton did not dominate but he turned up the heat in the championship rounds, the rounds that counted.
hatton won fair and square. every1 who thinks differently is either ignorant or biased against euro fighters.
hatton won the WBA welter title, and no amount of brooklyn bitching will change that.
his agressive style wasn't so effective against Collazo...
Hatton was just bullyin Collazo throughout the fight, it LOOKED like he was wearing Collazo down.
but look, at the end of the fight, Hatton was the one who was worn down and hurt, not Collazo.
people need to realize collazo won this fight and need to stop bullshitin. fuckin hatton hold on all night. it pisses me off cause collazo did the impossible and adapted and fought well AND still lost.
Let me guess your Puerto Rican :rolleyes:
It was close but Hatton did deserve the UD, too bad he adapted in round 10 to round 12...
Hatton would KO Margarito with his dick! Margarito would be easier for Hatton because he is Orthodox and Hatton has more than average or even below average trouble with Southpaws. Hatton took on HIS toughest competition in the division tonight and won fair and square. Notice I said HIS TOUGHEST competition and not the ranked number ones. If Mayweather stays at 147 then Collazo would be his second toughest competition.
Hatton=........a tactical Mayorga. He was not impressive against a guy who was supposed to be an easy fight for him in the U.S. Hatton almost got KTFO! If you box Hatton, he will get fustrated. All you have to do with him is fight him like Trinidad and Oscar did Mayorga. They fight the same way except Hatton is a bit more skillful........just a bit.

Anyone who said this was a "robbery" hasn't watched much boxing. It was a close fight...but it ridiculous to cry that either way..it's like the boy who cried wolf..save that for the real robberies..
i thought hatton won by a hair, that 1st round kd really helped him. collazo was landing some good shots in the 12th and i thought "oh shit if hatton goes down it's over for him" but he held together, clinched and tried to get some shots off and showed his heart.
hatton won the championship rnds!!!!!......he lost the 10th. rnd. and clearly lost the 12th. he was holding the whole rnd. so he would not get his ass knocked down..do you seriously think that is "turning up the heat" ??
HE WON THOUGH...quit crying...not all puerto rican fighters are the second coming of tito
. hatton did not dominate but he turned up the heat in the championship rounds, the rounds that counted.

clean punching, effective aggressiveness , ring generalship, and defense are not scored on an equal plane. its a heavy emphasis on clean punching which Collazo clearly got the better of. Hatton got a gift decision. and theres no bias against euro fighters, Prince Naseem is my 2nd favorite fighter ever.

i think hbo who is investing a large amount of money on hatton for a big ppv fight with a top class champion, just found out what kinda shit fighter hatton really is. no way is he competition to the top level boxers. and no way did he won this fight tonight. margarito would rip hattons head off.
