Hatton-Collazo a done deal!

Sunday, March 26 2006

By Jason "J-Gon" Gonzalez

The fight between Ricky Hatton and Luis Collazo is signed, sealed and delivered. "Although we are not content with the offer Banner Promotions gave us, we are taking the fight anyway," Collazo's manager/trainer Nirmal Lorick told *********.com. Lorick has just arrived back in The Big Apple from Deerfield Beach, Florida, where the deal was finalized at Don King Productions headquarters on Saturday. "We will take less to get more on the flip side," explained Lorick. "A lot of people point their fingers at Don King and they say Don King is a bad guy, but Don King was doing the most that he could for us....if it's not Luis, it would be someone else. We're going to show the world that Luis belongs in the same ring with Ricky Hatton and when we beat Ricky Hatton, then we'll talk." The offer put on the table for Collazo was $500,000. Hatton is earning $2.9 million. The bout will take place on May 13 at the TD Banknorth Garden (a.k.a. FleetCenter) in Boston. Collozo will train for the bout in Atlanta, Georgia and leaves today.

should be a good match. Here's Collazo's chance to really show the public what he's made of, and he needs to do it now, it would be nice right after his posing pictures with the 6 signed contracts to fight 6 top fighters. Hatton will take his will to win, away, though.

I know, but i refuse to route for or say Hatton will win, i hate Hatton. And i think Collazo is a bit underrated. Im seeing Collazo winning in an upset.

I don't see how you can say Hatton has fought nobody, mysta.
I respect your opinion, but Collazo holds a version of the title, so he is somebody IMO.
He beat one of the best fighters in the world at that time in Kostya Tszyu, and then unified the jr welterweight title by stopping Carlos Massau.
Collazo has been avoided by several big names, and Hatton is stepping up to the plate again--this time against a bigger man who is a southpaw as well.
