I've been a fan of Collazo since I saw him fight Hatton (who I thought he beat). I really hope he gets his dues by KOing Amir 'The Bolton Gobshite' Khan.
Collazo-Bradley for the belt is a good fight

I think it is going to happen. If Kahn is smart he will stay outside and never get in the pocket. I'm afraid that should Collazo get a good shot in (which i can only assume he will at some point) he will put Kahn in the kind of danger that he has had trouble getting out of. The word is that Kahn thought he had the fight with Mayweather and thus pulled out of a title fight back in December with Devon Alexander. When Mayweather decided on Maidana he told Kahn the best thing he could do would be to fight on the undercard of his ppv with Maidana and if he won he would likely be next. I'll give it to Kahn because most fighters would have taken the title shot against an easier opponent for a title. Kahn has big balls.
Bradley might have to fight Collazo after Collazo gets a belt because i don't think Bradley will have his much longer. I don't think he beat Pac Man the first time...a draw would have been a stretch. I don't think Pac Man is going to let it go to the judges this time.

I think Pacman-Bradley II is an intriguing fight. I agree that Bradley lost the first one, but I don't think it was by much. Pacquiao is on the slide, but Bradley has taken some monumental beatings since their first fight, and that has to effect him.
I really dunno how it plays out - Bradley deserves more respect than he gets though.
As for Collazo-Khan: I hope that Collazo beats the living shit out of him.
Seeing Joshua Clottey beat the living shit out of Anthony Mundine on Saturday was great - I've never liked Mundine.
If Clottey fought more regularly, he could be a real force at 154lbs.....
I think Bradley is going to win on points tonight?
Who's everyone else got?
Pac decision ....... if i was a gambler pac finishing it at the very death of the fight as bradley tries to mix it up ?

My only concern about Bradley is how much punishment he's taken in the past 3 fights. Maybe he's not what he was.
However, I really think he's a world class fighter. He might be able to make the adjustments necessary to out box Pacman.
I think both have something to prove , gonna be a good fight .
All depends on who's got more of an edge at the moment; both are pretty shock-worn at this point.
I can see Pac winning a decision, or maybe a draw...we'll see.

TBH I think manny needs to stop this only fighting at the end of rounds bullshit , it might cost him a fight ... again.
pac on points ...
Pac's composure was great in that fight. It was pretty even by round 6, but he took control from then on.
Impressive victory. I had it 116-112. Close, but clear.
If Bhop wins tomorrow night, he will become a 49 year old world champ.
I'm not betting against him........
There has been a lot in the uk press about him , certainly had a bit of a life
BHOP on points . Didnt see it but it looks like the judges scored Shumenov better than he deserved.
Yep.
Bhop was pretty damn dominant.
Shawn Porter's stoppage Paulie Maliggagi was also very impressive. I smell big fights for him in the future.
R.I.P Ruben 'Hurricane' Carter. Passed away today.

If anyone gets a chance to see John Molina vs Lucs Matthyse from last Saturday do - it was an EPIC fight!

Predictions for Mayweather - Maidanna and Kahn - Collazo?
Mayweather UD
Collazo ko khan ... Early 3rd 4th round .
Unless mayweather just starts early and chins all 3 and takes the rest of the year off .

I'd say Mayweather UD as well. I think it will be incredibly one-sided after the first 3-4 rounds (which Mayweather will also win) - the 'All Access' episodes didn't convince me that Maidanna thinks he has a chance.
Khan is the heavy favourite in his fight, but stepping up in weight to fight a guy as awkward as Collazo, who is also a leftie, makes for a hard night when you're chinny. IF Khan stays on his toes and jabs he might win - he COULD win. But he won't because he's a knob....
Here is Mayweather-Maidanna:
http://youtu.be/wVVOYL6swLo
It won't be up for long, so watch it quickly!
Maidanna made it tough in the first half, but I don't know how one judge scored it even. I had it 117-111 for Mayweather....

I was to pished to watch it last night but it sounds like a great fight
It was an ugly fight.
I don't buy the 'Mayweather was really tested/ it was really close' school of thought. It looked a lot like the Cotto fight, with Mayweather on the ropes and appearing to take a lot of punishment, but slipping most of it. There was a headbutt in round 4 which completely disorientated him for two rounds, and Maidanna fought very well. But Mayweather won pretty much everything from round 9 to 12.
Khan-Collazo was a good fight. Khan looked good - he still get's tagged a bit too much for my liking, and the ref last night let him get away with murder in terms of holding, but he impressed me.
Kahn was really impressive. I was surprised that Collazo couldn't find him much at all. It looks like Virgil Hill had a terrific gameplan that Kahn completed to a tee. Actually made for a somewhat boring fight. In regards to the Mayweather fight i had it 7 rounds to 5 for Mayweather. I agree he was was blocking most of what Maidana was throwing in the first 5 rounds but Floyd didn't throw much. I had to give those rounds to Marcos just because he was the only one really working. I was glad to at least see a competetive fight. Of course, Adrian Broner showed his ass again. That guy is just a dickhead.
I didn't give all of the first 5 to Maidanna, but I can see your point of view.....
I find the claims that Maidana was somehow "robbed" are ridiculous. What fight were they watching? After the 5th it was all useless pressure, he was swinging at air. I wish that Floyd had won a bit more convincingly, but he did indeed win.
I thought it was a clear win. I guess people are so used to seeing shut-outs that anything less looks 'close'.
Hope there's a rematch, though. It was entertaining.
Saul Alvarez - Lara is a very, very good match up.
It has the potential to be a classic. Very curious to see how Alvarez approaches Lara.........
Any thoughts on the rematch of Bermane Stiverne vs. Chris Arreola this weekend? Heck that is tomorrow night on ESPN. My next question is can Deontay Wilder handle the winner?
I think that Stiverne will win a close fight, purely because he's fresher. It will be close, however, and Arreola is a tough, tough, tough.....
Wilder isn't ready for the winner, IMO. I expect Stiverne is better suited to him than Arreola, however. The latters fast hands (by heavy standards) will catch Wilder.
Just watched a video of wilder beTing up some guy in the gym for trolling him ... The whole story is weird as fuck if true .... The guy who was trolling him on twitter agreed to meet him ?!?!?!
Trying to work out how to send it
Deontay Wilder beats up internet troll Charlie Zelenoff after abuse http://dailym.ai/1mIBmCg
Good fight.
I wonder if Arreola is shot. Vitali beat on him for 12 rounds and couldn't do what Stiverne did with 3 punches.
Not taking anything away from Stiverne, he impressed me. Power, fast hands, good timing and counter-punching. He could be good.
I think that Wilder is going to be stepping up in class considerably - he has all of the natural advantages, and clearly has ungoldy power, so it wouldn't surprise me if he won. That being said, I see Stiverne's counters causing him all kinds of problems - he better have a good chin.
It's the most excited I've been about heavyweights for years and years.
