Collazo vs. Baldomir for WBC#1 Spot

yes but my heart say Baldomir to my mind to Collazo Lol, fair enough my man!

2 WBC eliminators? that sounds a bit excessive Why not make a mini tourney outta it and have the Collazo-Baldomir winner fight the Jackson Osei Bonsu-Hlatswayo winner *The IBF did a similar thing when deciding it's mandatory challenger for Wladimir Klitschko o well too late now.

With all do respect, Collazo takes the ponderous Baldomir to school. yes but my heart say Baldomir to my mind to Collazo

winner of Vanes vs. Baldomir?? you think Berto will come up to 154 soon? he is coming in kinda chunky already, he would wanna dominate JMW rather than the WW, running away from margarito

this is the article: its from a south african newspaper so don't know how accurate it is. Hlatshwayo’s quest is fulfilled -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2008/07/26 ISAAC Hlatshwayo’s quest to challenge for the WBC welterweight boxing title took a pleasant turn when the WBC reinstated him to contest the elimination bout against Belgian Jackson Osei Bonsu in Belgium on November 11. This after the WBC had originally downgraded the bout from its title eliminator status and instead appointed former WBA champion Luis Collazo and Argentinean Carlos Baldomir to battle for the honours. The decision to downgrade the bout was taken after Collazo filed an urgent appeal to the WBC for being sidelined for the title eliminator when he is rated as the top contender in the division. Collazo is rated first while Baldomir, who is the former WBC champion in the division, is listed third. Bonsu, of Ghanaian origin, occupies the second spot with Hlatshwayo rated fourth. Faced with possible complaints from the camps of the four fighters, the WBC agreed to sanction both bouts as eliminators. However, Collazo and Baldomir clash has been given a final eliminator status meaning the winner will get an immediate challenge against reigning WBC welterweight champion Andre Berto. Hlatshwayo and Bonsu will also clash for the eliminator with the winner possible getting a challenge some other time. Hlatshwayo’s promoter Rodney Berman who has been working feverishly to get the bout approved as an eliminator breathed a sigh of relief after the news. “The fight between Hlatshwayo and Bonsu will still be an eliminator because that is the WBC rules which I am not well-versed with,” he said. - By MESULI ZIFO

Collazo would win by eight million miles.

then the winner could get a crack at berto winner of Vanes vs. Baldomir?? you think Berto will come up to 154 soon?

if Baldomir could make the 147 and fight Callazo I will choose him over Callazo. much more experienced fighter. another remaking of the Cinderella man With all do respect, Collazo takes the ponderous Baldomir to school.

then the winner could get a crack at berto

That's a fight i won't mind seeing

Baldomir will stay at 154... and I hope he fights Vanes in the near future.

he should he a crack @ santos baldomir vs santos @ 154lbs he can't make 147 anymore

If this fight comes off, I'll put some points on Collazo. Baldomir doesn't have the power to hurt him and sure as hell isn't outboxing him. Plus making the WW limit is going to be near impossible at this stage. Baldomir won Zab Judah when people said he couldn't I won't be surprise if he got the WW limits

i think they had that on espn.com, about berto vs forbes on the undercard. it would definately be a night to tune into. could baldomir make 147lbs thats a good question... his last two fights were at 154 and 157. good point.

berto vs forbes on the mosley vs mayorga, god damn, no way folks should pass on this card, awesome

if Baldomir could make the 147 and fight Callazo I will choose him over Callazo. much more experienced fighter. another remaking of the Cinderella man

I dont think Baldomir can make 147 pounds
