    If I recall correctly, Collazo wanted more money than the 1st fight. That would have meant Berto getting less than he did for the 1st fight.

      I had berto winning the first fight anyways, Collazo got scared and that is why he asked for more money. No one can deny Collazo was on *****-street in the final round worse then Collazo buzzed Berto in the fight.

        berto might want the fight and collazo may want more money, but i'm willing to bet that berto's handlers don't want him fighting collazo again, they were sweating the outcome of their last fight, you know they want to have him fight different guys in hopes of bigger paydays.

        i thought that their first fight was very close, and it was a great fight to start off the year, it was exciting, had lots of action, and was down to the wire. bertos' dad even thought that his son was going to lose the fight, thats how close it looked to everyone sitting ringside, except the judges.

        it would be nice to see berto and collazo fight again, i think they make for an action packed fight. it just doesn't make the best business sense to fight collazo again, mainly because they won and they're are g=bigger names out there to try and cash in on, and collazo isnt worth the risk..............

        berto has a tough fight in front of him this weekend, urango is strong, has power in both hands, good chin, better than average stamina, and gets stronger as the fight wears on. BUT urnago is very one dimensional and has recently stopped using his jab, BUT then again, urango is undefeated in hollywood florida, his adopted hometown, and he's had some serious gift decisions there, a draw which he clearly lost against mike arnaoutis, and his gift decision against Naoufel Ben Rabah, another fight which he was clearly losing, hometown cooking......

        now, i think that berto is too fast, has too fast of hands, is too slick for urango to hit him cleanly, BUT, if berto's chin is suspect, which we all know it is, then urango might not have to hit berto all that clean, maybe some of urango's wide punches can have some pwer effect on berto even if he doesn't hit him flush. we will see, but that is always a factor.

        i say that if urango DOESN'T use his jab, and DOESN'T back berto up, and DOESN'T pin berto up against the ropes and or DOESN'T get berto to stand and trade with him, then urango loses this fight in poor fashion. unless his punching power can save the day for him, which there is a chance of.....
