TAMPA – Victor Salazar catches up with former champion Luis Collazo, who discussed his loss to Keith Thurman as part of the Premier Boxing Champions televised debut on ESPN from Florida.

In the PBC main event, Keith “One Time” Thurman (26-0, 22 KOs) remained undefeated by stopping Luis Collazo (36-7, 19 KOs) in in the seventh-round in his hometown of Tampa on the inaugural Premier Boxing Champions on ESPN from the USF Sun Dome. [Click Here To Read More]

Collazo: "I'm no quitter. Blood gushing in my eye, couldn't see. I didn't want to take any unnecessary shots because I do want to fight again."

I like Collazo but technically that's still quitting. He ended the fight based on an increased risk of sustaining damage. He might have taken unnecessary shots but at the same time he still had the opportunity to land some game-changing shots on Thurman.

Strange seeing Collazo do that though. Seems out of character. He always seemed like the type of fighter who'd fight through anything and wouldn't let a cut bother him.

But at the same time, he has been in a lot of tough fights against some very good opponents and shown a lot of heart in those. So I guess it's true to say that he's already proven himself in the past so right now he's just trying to prolong his career as long as possible. I can see it both ways.
