great win for berto and my hat goes off to collazo for bringing it! i watched the fight as non bias as possible b/c i was rooting for collazo. although collazo won rounds 9 & 10, he pretty much exerted all his energy. damn what a fight!
Most of the fans are going off emotion and because an unheralded fighter like Collazo fought so well they believe he was robbed. I scored it a draw, it could have went either way. Im sure if they rewatch the fight it would have been more 50/50. However Im referring to body work. I noticed he slowed down considerably heading into the championship rounds, and as the ringsiders stipulated, it may have been down to Berto's body attack. I saw Collazo cringe twice at body shots landed on Berto. And I think that Berto possible could have stopped Collazo if the fight had went on. As Collazo was holding on for dear life in the 12th and look totally spent while Berto was coming on stronger. I agree the Collazo fought a great fight, and i would not have disputed a decision in his favor.
Collazo won that fight, no doubt about it. Harold Lederman had him winning also. 116-111?! How criminal, judge should be fired from boxing for good. I feel sorry for Collazo, he was ripped off, but I was not surprised, I felt the judges would cheat him.
Why dont they show fights like this in the uk from the comments on here it sounded like a cracking fight.
Take the stick out of your ass boy. I humored your opinion and disagreed with it respectfully. You can do the same.

I have it 114-113 for Berto but could have gone either way...it was Berto's 11th and 12th round that got him the fight...
I had it 114-113 Collazo, but let's not scream robbery it was a close fight which could have gone either way. If it weren't for the point deduction (which I thought was unnecessary) berto would have a draw on my scorecard and would keep his belt.
114-112 Collazo Berto looked terrible, he didn't look warmed up when the fight started and never got his timing right He won't last long at the top of the division like that.
