Apparently Collazo wants to move up to 154, also the purse bid was won at 105,000. http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=5127918 I still think Collazo would've outboxed Aydin. I like Collazo alot, Hopefully the guy can get a good fight a lmw.
y would collazo back out of this.. im suprised. what better fight is he gettin? nobody riskin fightin him.. stupid move IMO
At first I was surprised too considering he has a hard time getting decent fights. But apparently he really cant make 147 effectively anymore mixed with a purse bid of only 105,000 total, when he has a camp that generally costs like 15000/20000 I can understand he really would make anything ecspecially if he lost.
Arena Box won the purse big, and the fight was going to be held in Turkey. Collazo would of been robbed IMO
Yea, that was in the back of my head, if they fought, and it was any kind of close I figured Collazo would have been robbed yet again.
Yea inactivity is going to ruin his career. He may just need to suck it up and ko a few club fighters to stay active. As long as he keeps winning something will come along.
I know I wish to turn amateur soon and would jump at the opportunity to fight anyone. Let alone spar with anyone so when I hear these fighters with opportunites to fight but don't take them it sickens me. Hopefully Collazo can outbox someone decent but I don't see him ko'ing people at 154 but who knows lets see.
Sounds reasonable to me. I for one would never go to Turkey to fight. That Vidoz-Sam fight should be indicator enough. Vidoz won probably 9 rounds of that fight and first the judges declared it a draw, only to "mysteriously" change it to a UD for Sam! And that Sam's vile promoter Ahmet Oener furiously cursed the judges and seemed to threaten them after the fight is just a coincidence...yeah, right! This content is protected
I agree. I feel like I've been seeing this more and more lately, Good fighters being so inactive it ruins their careers.
