I had Collazo winning it by 2 points I think, might have been one. I can see how a person could score it for Berto though, seemed to me Collazo was the more effective one, certainly was able to adapt to Berto's style.
I just want the 30th. to hurry up and get here. I gotta feeling those two fights are gonna be good ones.
I've rewatched that fight on several occasions and consistently score the fight for Collazo by 1 point. It was a very competitive back and fourth tussle in which both guys had key moments. IMO Berto was and is the better fighter but just fought the wrong fight. If there ever is a rematch, I'd expect Berto to box more on the outside where his faster hands would serve him best against the south paw stance of Collazo.
Berto won the fight. I feel sorry for people who scored it for Collazo, it means they cant score ****. Collazo was arm punching inside to stay busy, but he was no where near effective enough. Berto still won and he had to make a point up.
That is exactly right. In a close fight the scoring could go either way. What surprised me was how Collazo performed. If he would perform that well consistently his career in boxing would have been much more lucrative.
