i saw his last fight against collazo. his punches didn't have much steam at the end, hopefully this time around he'll be in a little better shape.
i wonder if that fight against collazo took a lot out of him.

[ICEMAN JOHN SCULLY]

Actually, thats why he is at 154... making 147 was TERRIBLE for him... his punches lacked steam at the end for that reason. I know from experience... making a weight thats not natural for you can be DRAINING!! Jose was in great shape for Collazo but the weight killed him... I have known hundreds of boxers in my life and Jose trainers harder than 99 percent of them
