Was Collazo robbed against Hatton?

[IMDAZED]

It was Ricky's first fight in a 3-fight deal with HBO. The plan was to hype him up and gain some exposure in the U.S in order to set up a mega fight between him and Floyd. Had he lost to Collazo, those plans would've been scrapped!

Well he won but HBO knew better. That's why he went backt o 140 and, when everyone had forgotten, they brought him back for Floyd and pretended he had a shot.

My god ur a ****in ******

just wondering

What's your take on this fight? Aside from the early kd, i dont feel Hatton did enough for the win. What are your thoughts?

I thought Hatton won a close fight, but was exposed as not being able to carry himself at 147 the same as he did 140. The punch stats were close, but I thought Hatton outworked Collazo while Luis landed the better shots. Ricky was holding on for dear life at the end of that fight.

How can you call such a close fight a "robbery"? Thats just ****ing ******.

Lewis vs Holyfield 1 was a robbery.

This fight could've gone either way. Personally I scored it 6 rounds a piece with Hatton getting the nod by way of the first round knockdown. Neither guy would've been "robbed" had they lost a decision.

The world was robbed of being Dirk-free.

Hatton also forced the fight against Floyd for as long as it lasted. Had he not been KO'd, do u think he would've gotten the decision for "forcing the fight"?

You really are not very bright are you?

Hatton barely landed a glove on Floyd. It was mostly ineffective agression.

By the end of the Collazo fight, he'd landed a good number more punches than Collazo did.

Hatton spent twelve rounds coming forward, digging to Collazo's body and working non-stop.

Yet, by the end of the fight, he was the one tired, hurt, and stumbling around like a whino at 3AM. Gee, I wonder who landed the cleaner, more effective punches?

Thats because he got pummeled in the 12th round. One really great round doesnt win you the fight.

Hatton didnt prepare well for this fight and it showed by how badly he faded late on. He was usually a guy who could go 15-20 rounds if it were neccesary.

Yeah thats really messed playing with Collazo's career like that. Hope the same doesn't happen to him against Berto.

Not from the official judges but the Lederman card had Hatton ahead I believe.

Yeah, it all happened in one round...sure.
