    Former welterweight titlist Luis Collazo (30-4, 15 KOs), 29, who suffered razor-close points defeats to Ricky Hatton and Andre Berto in title bouts, is getting back in the ring. Collazo will fight an opponent to be determined in a junior middleweight fight on the undercard of pal Dmitriy Salita's bout April 13 in Brooklyn.


    Collazo lost a close decision to Berto in January 2009 in one of that year's most exciting fights. He returned in June 2009 to score a sixth-round knockout of soft touch David Gogichaishvili on a club card in South Carolina, but has not fought since, while waiting for his promotional contract with Don King to expire.


    Nirmal Lorick, Collazo's trainer and adviser, told ESPN.com that the promotional contract expired Feb. 10 and that Collazo was anxious to fight again.


    "We'll go to 154 pounds and see how he feels, but Luis wants to stay busy," Lorick said. "We're done with our contract and we're doing our own thing right now. Luis is really happy. He is free of the contract. He was getting the right opportunities before, but we're glad to be back."

    Luis Collazo is a badass, kind of shocked he's coming back at 154 though. He always seemed kind of small for a welterweight. I wonder how he'll do at this weight.

    I'm sure he'll go down after 1 or 2 fights. He just trying to get back into the game. I'm sure he'll be match softly till he gets back into shape.

    And he damn sure is a badass. Beat Hatton too. I don't care what anybody says. Idk what happened in the Mosley fight :(

    I haven't seem him fight in a while, but honestly, if he still has half of what he had, then he should beat Salita.
