DiBella won the purse bid for a Berto vs. Collazo bout. Berto stands to make about $500,000 for this fight while Collazo is looking at a little over $200,000. The fight would take place in January. This is a great opportunity for Berto. Many have pegged him as a hypejob, and a win over Collazo would help to silence some of the critics.
Berto easily beats him up.. Collazo i find is too lazy and was wobbled big time by SSM - Berto is the young version of Mosley, but instead at welter.
This is the correct opponent for Berto at this stage of his career. Collazo will test him with his boxing skills but doesn't pose as an overwhelming threat. This would be a quality win for Berto and a stepping stone fight to really get his name up with the elites of the divison and hopefully silence some of his critics.
I think Collazo's style causes fits for Berto. However, if AB has it, then he has it and should win. Berto has to be very smart versus Collazo and search for weaknesses and capitalize. Luis is a very good test for any young champion.
Hopefully Berto uppercuts him into boxing oblivion that way they will have to shut up for least for a little while. :good
Finally, what would be a creditable scalp for Berto worthy of the belt he holds. I think he takes this one.
Collazo is going to be a great test to see where Berto is. I have a feeling Berto will beat him, but not overwhelmingly.
