Yuri Foreman versus Collazo -- Thoughts?

I'd say good find on this fight :yep

 

props for finding this

 

I think Yuri has never shared the ring w/ a world class fighter like cotto. I think cotto will easily handle yuri.

 

Second that, good find man. What ever happened to Collazo? The last time I saw him fight was against Berto.

 

Collazzo wuz robbed against Berto and Hatton too. Boxing is a tough business if you aren't marketable.

 

Had to pull out of a fight at 147 and is moving up to 154.

 

yuri hasnt changed his style he fights the same way he fought as an amateur

:hat

 

msg is great haha. i have recorded many of the golden gloves fights and the classics fights they put on. haha great find i have this somewhere in my collection

 

if yuri fights ike that cotto will destroy him.

 

Good find. A couple of thoughts here. This really is the first footage I've seen of Forman so if someone could corroberate what I say that would help. Forman can't possibly be this sloppy these days (he's 18 in this video) Still even for a top amatuer he is sloppy as ****. The big thing I see in this video is that he can't get his jab working against Collazo and he's moving the wrong way against the south paw. Collazo has good head movement, Cotto doesn't, I'm assuming Forman's Jab is more disciplined these days in which case the fact that Cotto is a righty, doesn't have the head movement to slip a jab and a significantly lack reach doesn't bode well for him....no matter what this video shows.

There are two seriously concerning things that **** video shows. Some of you have hit on the point that Forman has never fought a world class fighter. The biggest thing this video shows is that forman at this point in his career was no were near being on his way to being a world class fighter. Regardless of whether he`s tightened up his jab or not, having a world class jab and knowing when to throw it are two different things. Forman doesn`t look like he can do the later against a world class amatuer here. Cotto definitely knows when to throw his shots. The second thing should be noted is that Forman get hit soo cleanly once Collazo gets inside it again looks like he has no idea what he`s doing. Another problem agaisnt a guy like Cotto.

Thoughts? What did you guys see?

 

Had I been judging the bout, I would have scored it for Collazo. To say that he dominated Foreman is a bit of stretch, however.

 

well come on, hard to assess a fighter from an amature match from when hes 18 no?

that being said it was a great find..... thank you :good

 

Collazo beat Hatton and Berto.

 

Oh cool.
