Anybody get the feeling that Collazo's going to pull an upset against Hatton?

[JuicyJuice]

I do believe Collazo's going to win this.

Well, apparently everyone on the forum does because I've never seen so many people call an upset before in my life. I think this is either due to:

1) too many "America only" fans
2) an abundance of Mayweather fans
3) racism

and I think Hatton will win over Collazo, but every single one of you who picks Collazo will try to argue the fight was closer than it happens to be or suggest Collazo is robbed if it's on the cards

basically, Hatton will get little to no credit from all of you calling the upset as usual

I think they fail to realize that Collaza only has 12ko's, has already been stopped once in his career, fought to a close 12 round split decesion with Rivera. Otherwise his only significant win was against Gonzalez who lost his previous fight to feather fister Cory Spinks by decesion, not to mention that he's 35, who also lost his two major fights to Tszyu and De la Hoya. Yet people are still going to say Collozo to win, and if he doesn't its nothing major because everyone expected Hatton to win anyway, and if he does its time for them to go wild with pride for two weeks on the forums.

anything is possible in boxing, that being said i think if hatton shows up to fight he should win. but we will see.

Anybody get the feeling that Collazo's going to pull an upset against Hatton?

As I stated before, nope.

I'll tell you this, Hatton picked the wrong fighter for his first fight in America. Collazo will embarrass him all night. Collazo's slick southpaw style, quick hands and feet, and brilliant technical skill is gonna be too much for Ricky Hatton. Ricky Hatton is moving up in weight against a tall, strong welterweight who posesses a style that he has never faced in the professional ranks. Collazo is the real deal. Collazo can fill the ring up with punches and has incredible stamina. This is just a style that I don't think Hatton can contend with.

Collazo will start quick and win the first 3 rounds. Hatton will come on stronger in the middle rounds and do damage, but Collazo will stand in there and fight Hatton back with his faster hands and punch output. During that stretch, Hatton will suffer a cut that will hamper his fight plan, enabling Collazo to close stronger.

I wouldn't have picked Collazo for my first fight in America. He should have picked Vivian Harris, a man whose style he could shine against. This was a monumental error in management for Ricky Hatton.
