You can make the argument that former WBA Welterweight titlist Luis Collazo, next up to face “Sugar” Shane Mosley in Las Vegas on February 10th, has never really lost a fight at all.
The first blemish on Collazo’s record came at the hasty hand of referee Jay Nady, who as he often does, prematurely jumped into the middle of Collazo's proceedings against Edwin Cassiani. It was just another screw up in the long list of fights that Nady has tainted by stopping too soon. Collazo’s second loss was a questionable decision to Ricky Hatton last May in Boston. Some argue that Collazo should easily be undefeated right now, so as he prepares to get sour on “Sugar” Shane in Vegas – Collazo should have a lot to feel sweet about.
Despite the fact that he appeared spectacular while dismantling Fernando Vargas in his last fight, many feel that “Sugar” Shane Mosley may have fermented and that he’s ripe for the picking. After all, Mosley is closer to 40 than he is 30 and he’s a veteran of nearly 50 professional fights with 14 years on his pro clock.
Like all fighters, Mosley sees things differently than the critics and had this to say about Collazo, whom he will face at the Mandalay Bay Events Center. “Luis Collazo is a rising star in this game and I’m looking forward to matching skills with him on February 10th. “I’m coming to fight and to put on a great show for the fans, and from what I’ve seen of Collazo, he feels the same way. I’m ready to go to war.” [details]
