These days, inside of the Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas, you will find former two- time junior featherweight champion Israel Vazquez, as he is assisting his younger brother, 16-year old flyweight prospect Damien, ahead of his fourth professional bout next month.
Vazquez spoke with me for a few minutes following the team’s regimen, as I was curious for his thoughts on the recently-announced rematch between WBO welterweight titlist Tim Bradley and Manny Pacquiao that is set for this April in Las Vegas.
“It’s a very interesting fight,” Vazquez would state. “But then again it’s a sword with a double edge because if [Pacquiao] loses, most of the bonuses he had going for himself he’s going to end up going without.”
Pacquiao’s last outing came in November, when he put on an exhibition of speed, angles, and movement during his unanimous decision victory over Brandon Rios.
“Very intelligent,” Vazquez claimed of Pacquiao’s effort. “Very good fight. Manny fought a very intelligent fight and what he did, because Rios is a heavy puncher, he was very intelligent to stay away from that and came out victorious.”
One month prior, Bradley scored a benchmark victory over Juan Manuel Marquez that saw him use all of the tricks in his book in pulling out a well-deserved split-decision victory.
“Very intelligent fight too,” Vazquez noted. “He did what he had to do to keep on scoring points and the public saw the outcome [for] what it really should have been.”
As for an official prediction come April 12, Vazquez wouldn’t get off the fence.
“I praise both of them and the winner is going to [be] whoever does the right thing,” he stated.

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.

As reported by various sources, WBO welterwe ight champion Tim Bradley will be facing off with Manny Pacquiao on April 12 in Las Vegas in a big rematch on HBO pay per view.
Having defeated Pacquiao via split-decision in June of 2012, Bradley signed an extension with Top Rank ahead of the Pacquiao rematch and recently told BoxingScene.com’s Ryan Burton why it was such a logical choice.
“I am very happy with the deal,” said Bradley. “I am making six million dollars for this fight. I am very familiar with them. I don’t know anyone over there at Golden Boy. I like the familiarity and I have made a lot of money with Top Rank so I didn’t feel any reason to go anywhere else.”

According to a report from Jake Donovan of BoxingScene.com, IBF junior lightweight champion Argenis Mendez has been reinstated as a champion following his ‘ loss’ to Rances Barthelemy earlier this month in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Barthelemy had originally been declared the champion after he dropped and stopped Mendez in the second round but replays clearly show that some of the punches from his last volley came well after the bell.
