Hatton vs Luis Collazo May 17

[IwatchBoxing]

Ricky Hatton's next fight will be against the little-known World Boxing Association world welterweight champion Luis Collazo on a Connecticut native American reservation on May 13.
The fight is not the high-profile contest Hatton had hoped for on his US debut as a world champion. "These things happen," his promoter Dennis Hobson said last night. "It's no big deal."

Plans for him to defend his world light-welterweight titles against Juan Lazcano were abandoned after the Texan reportedly broke a thumb in training, and possible contests against Floyd Mayweather Jr and Arturo Gatti were forestalled because both now have other commitments.

I'm sure the closer the fight date comes the more it will get pumped up. It would probably be ****** to put it on PPV.

I am so excited........I just can't hide it.........I'm about to lose control and I think......... nevermind this news sucks.

[Crumble]

yep its not worth such a fat break between fights, Frank Warren would have got him Cotto I feel.

I've never seen Collazo fight, but I've heard that he's pretty good...

neither have I but his Knockout percentage is not great, so you have to wonder whether he can hurt or even discourage Hatton.

What i have been told is that he is a slick southpaw boxer, he might give some trouble to Ricky.

There is a video interview with this Collazo guy on the main page. Listening to him talk, kind of feel sorry for him.
