Has everyone forgot that this fight is only 2 days away? Its actually an interesting matchup. The first actual test of Berto's career. I expect him to win by UD, but Collazo could give him some problems along the way. I just dont think he has the firepower needed to beat Berto.
Competitive fight early, but I see Berto breaking Collazo down with body shots and putting him away late.
I go with a DRAW......because i'm not really sure who will win. Mosley's speed/aggresiveness bother Collazo....Berto is more aggressive/ and is faster than Mosley...but is toooo RECKLESS..i see him winning the early round on pure aggression..but Collazo making it close in the middle rounds...
REED Forsee's some SHAKY Moments for Berto.... He's Gonna BUMRUSH Collazo as he Does Everybody Else, but Collazo's a GOOD Counterpuncher...He'll Catch Berto Being RECKLESS, like he Caught Hatton, he'll DROP or BADLY STAGGER Berto, but he'll Let Berto Off the Hook...This Should Happen Fairly EARLY N the Fight (2nd or 3rd Round)... From There, REED Expects Berto to B CONTENT to Outspeed Collazo for a Fairly UNimpressive Decision Win... It'd B NICE for the Sport of Berto WAXED Collazo, but REED has NO Faith N Dude's Chin...He Reacts VERY Weird WHENEVER he Gets Hit... Berto by Mundane UD, after Getting BADLY Hurt &/or Dropped.... REED:hammert:
Berto by UD or even late stoppage. Collazo is a teriffic fighter, and will give Berto problems early, but he can't punch. Berto goes into a bit of a shell whenever he gets hit hard, and Collazo won't be able to do that. Still, Collazo is tricky enough to catch Berto on the inside with short hooks and will give him some trouble. The reason why I think Berto could possibly stop him is because as good as Collazo is defensively, he still gets hit because he likes infighting.
i think you pretty much summed things up..collazo does not have the firepower to beat him or the workrate...his boring style might present some problems early but i expect berto to pour it on late....a convincing decision or maybe a chance of late stoppage but unlikely
Berto wide ud, but very competitive. Collazo brings out the best in Berto and he ends up overrated after this fight.
