First of all, WOW! Thank you for the suberb fight Andre Berto and Luis Collazo! Round 3 and one later round were round of the year candidates, so before even talking about the fight, let me say this first: We need a rematch, because it was so damn good. I personally had Collazo winning 114-113, it was very close, although I think most of the rounds had a clear winner. 116-111 for Berto is horrible. But Andre, a flawed talent who made tons of new fans in this fight, landed the more meaningful punches, so I guess I have to live with the judges scores, 114-113 for Berto is acceptable. How did u have it?
this fight should of been a draw. berto landed cleanly, while obviously louis threw more and seemed to land more. there was also the point deduction which should of made it in collazo's favor. i'd have to watch this one again to score it, but it seems collazo won the first half while berto won most of the 2nd. rematch would not be a bad idea, but we'll have to wait and hear from bertos team
It was a great fight either way but I had Collazo winning by the same margin as Lederman. I was impressed with the early speed of Berto but Collazo outworked him.
I had it 6 rounds to 6 - with the point deduction for Holding. 114-113 Collazo. This was a very good and entertaining fight.
There's already a big thread like this with a poll... http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=117797&page=6 ... and the great majority of fans are siding with Collazo in this one. Fight was close no doubt, but I still saw a clear victory for Collazo. But of course, the judges sided with the undefeated up-and-comer. What a surprise. :roll:
i scored 114-113 collazo, but with a fight that close there's alway rounds that could go either way. berto landed the cleaner punches at a higher percentage, but collazo outworked him and hurt him more... collazo really seemed to be just barley able to survive the 12th, but still i say he earned it... definatly not a rip off though...
Yep, clear victory for Collazo. It was a very good fight, comming into the 11th, I had been keeping track of the score and realized Berto needed a kd, and to win the 11th and 12th for a draw.. I felt Collazo was the clear winner, moreso than I felt Marquez beat Pac. All the talk during the fight about Collazo taking his boxing more seriously, hiring a nutritionist, and just the style of fight he fought, (minus the showboating, keeping his hands down) made me feel like I was watching a real fighter. That he has had to work so hard to come up, and has been shorted in the past is just salt in an already festering wound of robberies I have seen in my years of being a boxing fan. The fight was spectacular, but it really is disgusting to see the win, or at least a draw as a result. No way in hell did Berto win that fight. Great, spectacular fight, but it repulsed me and I've pretty much decided to cancel my HBO, and not purchase any more ppv fights. I'll go watch them at a friends house or find a live feed from now on.
No, because actually if you watch the fight even though Berto won the 12 and hurt Collazo , you will see that trough out the fight Berto was ready to go down more times than Collazo that says it all.
the fact is that it doesn't matter who the HBO crew thinks won the fight since they can't score a fight for ****
