Moments ago, inside of the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, Luis Collazo scored an emphatic upset win over Victor Ortiz in a battle of former welterweight belt holders.
The fight was fought at a brisk pace early, with each man having success landing sharp blows in the first frame.
The action continued to heat up in the second, and Collazo turned the tide permanently with a quick right hand in the trenches that caught Ortiz on the jaw and sent him spiraling to the canvas.
Ortiz wasn’t able to beat the count, granting Collazo with a huge win as he climbs to (35-5 with 18 KO’s). Ortiz falls to 29-5-2 with 22 knockouts and has some serious thinking to do in the wake of his third consecutive defeat.
As for the 32-year old Collazo, he didn’t waste any time in calling for a Brooklyn showdown with the sport’s top attraction, Floyd Mayweather.

On Saturday night, inside of the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, I spent some time backstage with Five-time Trainer of the Year Freddie Roach prior to his fighter Frankie Gomez’s bout with Lanard Lane.
Still a few hours away from Gomez’s match, Roach and I briefly discussed another pugilist he was recently seen working with in former welterweight champion Victor Ortiz.
Having suffered an upset loss to Josesito Lopez in June, Ortiz would part ways with his then-trainer Danny Garcia shortly after the setback. Temporarily sidelined because of a second surgery for a broken jaw he suffered in his bout with Lopez, Ortiz is still finding time to stay in shape and was spotted working with Roach inside of his Wild Card Boxing Club in Los Angeles late last month.
