Clottey Vs Collazo on Mosley-Cotto undercard!?!?!?!?!

[dino]

thats bad for collazo, he probably could have beaten mitchell, but he'll lose to clottey

[-Antonio-]

Collazo/Mitchell was never made. That was just a Boxrec rumor.

Ha, the guy with Castillo as his picture is calling out other people for being interested in "shot" fighters.

Mitchell was originally supposed to fight Luis Collazo on this card so that is why it's in this thread. Anyways, what business is it of yours if we want to know about someone who was supposed to be on the card originally, especially becasue we did it in the proper thread. Go **** yourself.

lol He's on my AV cause he's a favorite of mine. ****, when was the last time you have seen me even mention the name Jose Luis Castillo for a long time????? Thats right *****

Shot-ba is one boring ass fighter.

You probably mentioned him before the Hatton fight had happened. Who's to say that Mitchell isn't one of my favorites? I just don't know why you went out of your day to be a ****ing ****head, I didn't have any problem with you before. When someone asks a question on this forum, I usually give them the answer or ignore the post, I don't say **** like, "God what a ****ing ****** question, you are a real dumbass." It didn't hurt anything that I asked, so why did you feel the need to enforce your beliefs of Sharmba Mitchell on everyone else?

Clottey For IBF Final Eliminator

Ghana's highly-rated welterweight boxer, Joshua 'The Hitter' Clottey (32-2, 19 KOs), heads to the Madison Square Garden in New York, USA, to face former WBC welterweight champion, Luis Collazo (27-3, 13 KOs), in an IBF final eliminator on November 10.

The bout is a co-main feature on the Shane Mosley/Miguel Angel Cotto WBA welterweight bill.

Clottey's last IBF eliminator was against Richard Gutierrez in California which he won by a unanimous decision in July.

Collazo, a southpaw who hails from Brooklyn, New York, has won four of his last six fights. The two, which he lost, were to Ricky Hatton last year and Shane Mosley, in February this year.

Coincidentally, Felix Flores whom Clottey defeated in his last fight also happens to be a victim of Collazo. Flores lost by a unanimous decision to Collazo in October 2004 in New York.

While the Ghanaian prepares for this crucial bout, however, he could cancel it for a second shot at the WBO welterweight title against Paul Williams, the current champion.

The possibility of this fight coming off will depend on Williams's final decision whether to defend his title against Clottey who lost a chance to snatch the title from then champion, Antonio Magarito, in December last year.

In an interview with the Graphic Sports, Clottey said the November 10 IBF eliminator was finalised by his manager, Mr Vinny Scolpino, and he would be returning to his base in the US in a few weeks to begin preparations.

Clottey will use this fight as a launch pad to his much-anticipated challenge of Kermit Cintron, the IBF Champion, early next year.

"Cintron's style suits mine and I know I can defeat him so I am really looking forward to a date with him early next year," he told this site.

The 30-year-old Ghanaian, who is currently ranked seventh among the world's 1420 welterweight boxers, said he was also glad about his high rating among the four major sanctioning bodies (WBC,WBA,WBO and IBF) but would only be content if he won a title to show for his quality.

"Enjoying a high rating is not the ultimate in boxing, it is winning titles to prove your worth so that is my main focus right now," he stressed.

According to Clottey, most boxers are still avoiding him because of his quality. "Most boxers know I have a good defence, stamina and hit very hard and because of that they always avoid me. For  most of my tune-up bouts, my opponents agreed to fight me on condition that their purses were big. But it will surely get to a time when they will have no option but to fight me," he said. 

About his most sought-after opponent, Clottey said a challenge of Kermit Cintron for the IBF title would be his dream come true. "Honestly speaking Paul Williams will be a tougher opponent because he has height and reach advantage. But at the end of the day I will fight whoever comes forward because I am title hungry. All I need to do is to prepare adequately," he said.

Clottey who is curently on holiday in Accra, said he would begin intensive training on his I return to the US in a few weeks.

oooooo, see you cintron fans see. even clottey agrees with us when comparing cintron to williams. williams is tougher. bar none. if you disagree then you got to be a **** rider. notice how all these comments about people looking for title fights are aiming at cintron. not much going towards williams way except for who? cintron himself. cintron needs williams more than williams needs cintron. only thing cintron has to offer is his shiny trinket he beat a nobody for.

"Although specifics of the undercard have not been announced, the Nov. 10 show will also include WBC interim lightweight champion Joel Casamayor, a likely bout between Mexican bantamweights Jorge Arce and Martin Castillo, and an appearance by 20 year-old California welterweight Victor Ortiz, whose only loss came two years ago when he was disqualified for knocking out opponent Corey Alarcon in the first round with what was ruled an “illegal punch.”

2 or 3 months away .. why so long?

Jeez still nothing official on this whole Clottey-Cintron-Margarito-Collazo circus

I just wanna know .. cuz Clottey has been talked about fighting Collazo or Cintron .. and Cintron is either talking about rematching Margarito or facing Clottey.

why can't something be signed by now?

[SkillspayBills]

Why cant he just fight Cintron on the undercard instead? Cintron is free to fight now. Oh well, this is still a solid undercard bout.

Cintron is facing Marg, I am pretty sure that is close to being finalized.
