    Some of us anyway. You had Guajardo, a 19-year-old undefeated fighter with a 5-0 record and 4 KOs, stepping into the ring against Collard, a 26-year-old journeyman with a 6-2-3 record, only 2 KOs and had been stopped once. Guajardo's team thought he would be an easy touch for their undefeated fighter. For those of you who may have missed it...

    I gotta say, that was fun. Collard was going to retire from boxing after that fight too and go to MMA.

    He beat the **** out of him!

    Boxing can be the cruelest sport what a bump in the road for that kid. Hopefully he learns and bounces back

    Guajardo had no defense what so ever.
    He barely even tried to hold on.
    This is boxing.

    Congrats to Collard....and his Mortal Kombat tattoo lol

    Damn that was good. Collard couldn't miss with those straights. Gaujardo could come again, if he is not mentally destroyed, as he looked decent. Needs to seriously work on defense though. I love seeing these every-man underdogs win.

    Yeah hard to argue with that....

    A good lesson for the young kid in there. It'll do him good and teach him to pace himself and pick opponents apart instead of going in there trying to take people's block off from the get go.

    I don't know. I bet Guajardo and his dad are taking a long, hard look at whether boxing is for him. The kid has power. You could see the way he was throwing and had one of them landed there is good chance Collard would have been KO'd. He took a lot of damage. He was bleeding heavily from the nose and undoubtedly suffered a concussion. He needs to improve his defense tremendously and throw straighter shots. I feel bad for the kid but Collard came to fight. Also, it was classless to butt into Collard's interview. An indication of how full this kid may be of himself.
