OK, I just saw Hatton/Collazo..
Anybody who takes this fight seriously, is a dummy.
Hatton clearly just looks like a blown-up light-welterweight in there, a useless lump of lard!
Quite honestly, this fight is ridiculous. Hatton was weighing 160 on the night according to Billy Graham, there is no way he could of moved anywhere near as sharp as he usually does (he usually weighs 152-154 on the night) and clearly doesn't - it's almost hideous. Hatton looks slow, sloppy, and laughable. He put on unneccasary weight, it was a silly mistake to move up to 147. He should of let Mayweather come back down (remember that Mayweather had to start using weights for the first time ever to build his body up towards 140, whereas Hatton has always used weights since he was a kid).
If Hatton has an ounce of sense, he won't ever fight at 147 again. He makes 140 comfortably, absolutely no problem at all. Infact, he often had to eat up to seven meals a day to keep the weight on when aiming for 140.
This fight is a laughing stock. I don't think Hatton could show much because he probably could barely climb off his stool between rounds - he was that much like a useless lump of lard in there, and it was Obviously due to carrying the extra weight (and shaken up by the naturally heavier punches than what he's used to - struggling for concentration in there because of the heavier punches). The whole fight Hatton literally just walked straight in, threw a few sloppy shots and then clinched.. it was laughable (seeing as this was RICKY HATTON). All Hatton could show really was that he had a rock-solid chin and determination.
Collazo isn't world-class, IMO, he was a paper champion. Sure, his hands looked a little quick at times here and there.. but he wasn't all that effective against such a useless lump of lard. Any world-class, natural 147lber would of beaten Hatton easily last night. Collazo didn't impress me much, really, he just couldn't take advantage enough of Hatton being over-heavy for his structure and Hatton desperately lacking any sharpness.
