Question: Does Collazo's performance tonight make Hatton's win over Collazo better?

i thought berto-collazo was a draw and i thought collaz won the hatton fight

Hatton was gifted the descision just like Berto

[theghost#1]

Hatton fought Collazo (who was a WW champion at the time) on short notice as his first fight moving up in weight. The fight was close and Collazo hurt Hatton in 2 rounds but Hatton still won 6 or 7 rounds and scored a knockdown, so it wasn't a "robbery" in any way, shape or form! Collazo did better than most expected against Hatton which is why some argue/think he won. Most posters who claim this are extremely biased trolls.

The Berto fight confirms that Collazo isn't a "bum" that people here were saying he was when Hatton beat him.

FTR, a fight that can be scored a draw or 1-2 points either way, can not be a robbery, it's just a close fight and in any close fights biased people (like Kellerman) will claim their boy got "ripped off"...

Well put, plus Berto is a natural WW, while Hatton is a natural JW. The Kd in the 1st RD did it for Hatton.

Umm, more people felt Collazo won that fight.

What who says that fight was a robbery. I scored like I did tonight 6 rds apeice. Collazo was on his ass the first RD, And that is what sealed for Hatton.

That's how I had it. That spaz Kellerman was spouting off how "most people thought Collazo was robbed against Hatton" or something to that affect.

I think most people thought Collazo was a borderline top 10 WW with little to no power. The Berto did a bit to change some of those opinions, though I guess Berto's chin and defense aren't exactly legendary. Collazo fought his a$$ off though and gained some fans for sure. Dropping his hands in the 7th against someone with quick hands and decent pop like Andre showed the kid has skills.

good post. Plus i think hatton's team managed his weight wrong. He was looking kinda chunky against Luis. He should of done what he did for Mayweather. Come in a couple pounds under 147.

It doesnt change anything for me because Im one of the few who always felt like Hatton never got enough credit for that fight. People act like Hatton sucks for not destroying Collazo. Collazo is a beast and now people are finaly seeing it

Only Collazo is better now than then , he was more defensive earlier because of his hand that he just had surgery on to fix ,,,, a fighters performance on a night is not always the same level and when evaluating a fighter his name dont mean jack unless the fighter performed at his best , Hatton didnt fight the Collazo that fought Berto , Luis said so himself prior its the best he has been and the hand is right , this Luis prolly would have beat that Ricky soundly .

No because Hatton and Berto didn't defeat Collazo, they just got gift decisions.
