Boxing Bang Bang! Keith Thurman versus Collazo, George Groves versus Badou Jack
By Robert Brizel, Head Real Combat Media Boxing Correspondent
Tampa Fl (May 22, 2015)– One can never fault Louie Collazo for not trying. Collazo won the World Boxing Association World Welterweight title in 2005, and defended it till he lost it to 40-0 Ricky Hatton in 2006. Collazo failed to win the WBC World Welterweight title in 2007 and 2009. Now, ten years after he won the WBA title, he will try to win it back from Keith Thurman on July 11, 2015, in Tampa, Florida against Keith Thurman on ESPN Premier Championship Boxing.
Collazo, 36-6 with 19 knockouts, Queens, New York, got knocked down three times and was unable to win a round against Amir Khan in Las Vegas in May 2014. After a comeback win last month, he will try to defeat Keith Thurman, 25-0 with 21 knockouts, Clearwater, Florida. Collazo will face a combined technical boxer and power puncher in Thurman. Collazo will probably get taken out by Thurman in the later rounds, but the bout promises to be an exciting banger for as long as it lasts, which won’t be the distance.
Meanwhile, George Groves will get his third title shot, and it will be soon, somewhere in the United States against Badou Jack, an easier opponent for Groves than Carl Froch was. Groves, now 21-2, 16 knockouts, London, United Kingdom, has won twice on the comeback trail and holds the European and WBC Silver Super Middleweight title. Jack, now 19-1 with 12 knockouts, a Las Vegas fighter originally from Stockholm, Sweden, decisioned Anthony Dirrell in his third comeback win to take the World Boxing Council World Super Middleweight title. However, previously Jack fell in the first round to Derek Edwards. Groves has considerable power, more than enough to knock Jack out. Floyd Mayweather Jr. promotes Badou Jack, and Groves gets a shot as the mandatory WBC challenger.
