I thought "Da Eye Test Killa" was quitting the business after his streak was broken?

Sounds like he decided not to go back to mma. Collard could be a contender if he would just get a world class trainer and concentrate on boxing full time. His punches are more Kenpo, Sanshou, or kickboxing more than they are proper boxing. He doesn’t pivot and get maximum power into his shots. Kid could be special if he would look to more than just the “opponent” role. If I were him I’d get a good trainer and take 5-10 fights that I was expected to win simply to test out the learning curve in the gym.

no Collard wouldn't be world class. He doesn't have enough athleticism; boxing takes speed more than MMA.

He should stick to MMA. He's much better and more built for MMA. He just had the bad luck of being matched against ATG's like Max Holloway.
