Nice performance by Callazo. Nice fight too. I think it was the overhand left that shook Vasquez. That right hook just cleaned it up.
Wow! vicious KO. It looks like Collazo still holds some serious punching power and its no doubt that he put Thurman in serious trouble. He still has some gas on the tank, so enjoy a couple more a fights before hanging them. As for Sammy, who knows from where he goes from here…his defense is extremely poor and only going forward throwing bombs will not make him win fights. He might be (or it was) a gatekeeper from now.
Good showing for B+.
Vasquez will not rebound from this. He did not learn from his last loss.
Way to many things wrong. He walked right into the punch. I don’t even consider him a gate keeper. Would have had to been at the top first.
Hopefully Collazo will use this win to get some money.
He deserves it.
Proper use of the “B+” designation this time! ;)
Disappointed for Vasquez, a guy I was following since his introduction to PBC. What a fight though, but the KO was so devastating that I think it’s gonna do like Hatton vs Pacman: he’s gonna call it quit. Maybe ad I hope I am wrong.
Haha what a shot and down goes another pretender! If he comes back he’ll be damaged goods.
