Comments Thread For: Collazo vs Aydin in May; Ustinov on Klitschko Card

[clemente]

is this fight really gonna happen? all i've seen is that aydins promoter won the purse bid..
wow collazo overseas? if its not televised he might need a knockout..

[Iceta Lives]

Interesting fight I guess. Collazo better go for broke if he expects the victory though. He'll do what Clottey always does and take his foot off the gas and cry robbery more than likely.

Hopefully they find half-decent opponents for Ustinov and Sprott, and show the fights as part of the internet PPV.

I wish DKP had bid and won Collazo vs. Aydin, that would have been a great fight for ESPN FNF.

There is no demand for the fight...I want to see it also but the public is not calling for it. Berto was going to fight Mosley in a good fight and after what happened in Haiti he needs a stay busy fight. I don't think Quintana is a chump....Berto should win and hopefully set up a rematch if Collazo can win.

Public not calling for it!!!???? What!!! R u serious callazo deserved to win that as much as berto did yes I thought that berto won that fight depending on the last round and yes he did win that round and won the fight but berto was so close to winning that fight.. And that was a fight of the year candidate and yes a rematch should have immediately b made specially if a fight is that close...IMO if they ever fight callazo is gona beat him by putting more pressure on him...yes I feel for what happened in berto's family but the callazo rematch is long overdue...

Aydin does have a good handspeed and power. You are right, his footwork is crap (better as a amateur in from what i have seen) and he does't work with a jab, also 'cause of his short arms. But from watching Luis Collazo fights, which are many, I dont see Collazo pressuring Aydin or trading punches. Collazo doesn't possess the boxing ability of Said Quali, who is imo a bit underrated (a good boxer with power). Collazo also doesn't have enough power I guess.

i dont think his hand speed is that good at all. he telegraphs his punches and loads up a lot on power shots. a lot of those power shots are wide winging shots. he has to have his feet set to let go as well. collazo does a pretty good job giving angles and boxing in circles.

what else can aydin do to get better though? he doesnt have fast hands or fast feet. he also has really short arms and not much of a jab so he cant box from the outside. he also has a really stiff upperbody. all he can really do is fight the same way he fights.

im thinking collazo clearly outboxes aydin then gets robbed.

I am a Aydin-Fan. But I am not blind. Collazo needs a KO or very very good performance to win this fight in Turkey. But I am sure, Aydin will be in better shape than in his previous fights. He is training since 2 months or even more with the condition-coach of Sturm. Aydins biggest problem in his fights was his stamina and I dont see Luis outboxing or hurting Selcuk Aydin.

Imo Selcuk has much potential, but he needs to learn and adapt new things. His cuban coach is better for him, than old Rocky, because this simple highguard without any movement isn't fitting to Selcuks Fightstyle. I hope he uses more footwork and fights a little bit more concentrated (using a jab and waiting for counters).

Selcuks performance against Bonsu was way better than vs Said, a fight which could get either way (I had it a draw).

If Collazo would be a better and faster boxer it would be very difficult to win for Selcuk, who has or had problems against southpaws. But I dont see Collazo dictating the fight and rhythem and therefore Selcuk can win the rounds.

And if Selcuk fights concentrated and patient with a better stamina he can knock Collazo out, which is important. Theire are too many rising prospects and very good fighters in the Welter division.
