Hatton v Collazo Prediction Thread

johnswan1 · Post by **johnswan1** » 10 May 2006, 08:04

Have not seen anything of Collazo apart from a few highlights here and there. I don't see an upset here (7/2 seems a very short price) but this could be a nice little fight (Collazo seems well up for it) - Ricky to win by close unanimous decision or late stoppage after having some troublesome moments against the light hitting southpaw.

I'm going to be different and go for a Collazo UD (if its scored correctly) or cuts stoppage. I will claim to be a boxing genious if it happens. I'm not sure about my prediction, but this is the fastest guy Rickys faced, the biggest guy (5'9 and a 7inch reach advantage), the guy with the most workrate hes ever faced, he has some heart, throws 10punches at a time and throws them inside or outside and he looks pretty decent from what I've seen. I also think Rickys taking this 1 for granted (he also doesn't have an equaliser to take Collazo out if hes behind on the cards imo)

Below are 2 of Collazos fights.

Ricky's skills still go unappreciated by some and it's these superb attributes that will see him take Collazo apart in 10.

Collazo is no Hagler. Hatton.

Hatton gets cut and out slicked early on, but grits it out, slams in the body shots and wins late in a tough fight.

Hatton TKO 10.

Bit difficult to predict if you havent seen much of Collazo - We do know he has a good jab and a high workrate - Dont see this as an easy one for Ricky but then none of his fights should be - He is at the top and he has to fight the best - Going up to 147 has to be the right thing to do, its a more natuaral weight for him I think - Ricky 9 onwards,through stoppage, bodyshots winning the day.

Yup. I see this one being a bit like Maussa. Collazo will be tricky for a while, but once Hatton finds the range he'll grind him down and take him out around round 9. Wouldn't be massively surprised to see it go the distance though, because a lot will depend on how much power Ricky carries up with him.

steve689 · Post by **steve689** » 13 May 2006, 13:21

Collazo is slick and awkward but i don't think he has the strength to keep the marauding Hatton off him, Hatton's body attack will slow down the target and when Collazo gets static i think he gets stopped. Up until then it may well be interesting. I've decided not to order it though

chado · Post by **chado** » 13 May 2006, 13:46

Hatton rd 2 or 3.

maxx · Post by **maxx** » 13 May 2006, 14:13

Hatton late maybe 9 or 10.
Does anybody know what time the Hatton bout start's
Sky coverage start's at 10 but is Ricky fighting at 2 or 3.

I think the higher weight will suit Ricky a great deal. The pictures of him at the weigh-in show him looking healthy, not drawn or gaunt.

I feel he will be stronger than Collzo, and Ricky will win by KO round 9.

Ricky may have a few problems early on, getting use to the southpaw style etc, but once he makes the required adjustements, the body shots will take their toll on Collazo.
