It was atough fight to score. Both sided did their fair share of holding. If you paid attention to the fight you would see that Hatton out power shot him and out punched him all around. I seen a lot of Callazo's shots go off of Hatton's shoulders.
hahaha are you serious, Hatton initiated almost all of the holding, Compubox stats don't show who landed the more effective punches. If you think that Hatton landed the more effective punches you are biased and should watch the fight again. Collazo landed effective, clean, crisp shots while Hatton's punches brushed off of Collazo's body. Never in the fight was Collazo hurt, but Hatton was hurt 3 times, and in the 12th he did absolutely nothing and almost got KTFO.

Hatton is the CLinchman.
Collazo was doing his fair share of rule-bending, and was on the back foot for much of the fight.
Hatton traveled to the states to fight a southpaw, who turned out to be a tough fighter. It's apparent...many of you have never seen Hatton fight before.
You were under the impression he was a defensive wizard, and I don't know where you get that ridiculous assumption from.
He gets hit.
So does Cotto, Castillo and Margarito....so ****ing save it.
That's their style in the ring, and I don't want to hear about how they "block punches with their face" or some other purist boxing *****'s justification for liking females in Men's trunks.
Stick to talking about Nascar and asking Team Fancy members to give me bad Karma.
Your comments about Collazo's punches is damn near wrong. Just ask a wobbly Hatton whether those punches were going off his shoulders.

The differnce between Hatton taking punches and Cotto/Castillo/Margarito is that they land clean effective punches in return and look like the better fighter at the end of the night. Hatton did not appear to be the superior fighter in any way. Collazo did everything better than Hatton, except for hold and hit. It seems like Hatton wears ear pluggs and practices clinching and hitting in the gym, because he is damn good at clinching while hitting and not listening to the ref.
Collazo did everything better, he boxed better, jabbed better, landed combos better, better footwork, better defense.
I like how the ref seemed like he wanted the fight stopped for first the cut (had the cut checked out twice in one round) and then for the tape (threatened either to DQ or take a point away after the first time the tape came loose) while not threatening to deduct points for Hatton's fouls.

I don't score the fight for the guy moving backwards.
Plus Hatton did enough punching and his ring generalship won him the fight on my cards.
Collazo is a tough fighter, but he was just work for Hatton.
I'll reiterate....Ricky's first fight at Welter....was against a tricky southpaw, and what we know now...Luis shouldn't be taken lightly in the ring.
Close fight....Hatton did enough to earn a victory.

Dude, if you know boxing, or if you box, you would know that Collazo had better ring generalship.
I was never a Collazo fan, and I had never seen him fight before, so my opinion is unbiased. but as I watched the fight in it's entirety and thought at the end...who is the better fighter, who did the better job overall? The answer was not RIcky Hatton, it was Hatton's "stepping stone", Luis Collazo.
