A post-fight x-ray recommended by the Nevada State Athletic Commission revealed a fracture to Collazo’s left hand
wow, :o
Shiittteeee…fair play to the bloke then, tougher then he looks!
Incoming: Hatton fans will say RH would’ve looked good against a broken handed Collazo too.
In 5… 4… 3… 2…
I slagged him cause I didn’t think it was true NOW that theres evident’s then I believe it…
Check it out…

Don’t see as it made any difference. He couldn’t of beat Shane with three hands
Hatton would have looked…
nah ;D
Loads of fighters go through it,all the time week in week out,Collazo seemed in awe of Mosley and never really got out of first gear.
He would have lost regardless of a fracture 8)

I agree. The hand fracture just gives him a springboard for his excuses.
I think that losing so closely to Hatton has f*cked his confidence up big time and he has been kicking himself ever since that night.
Must ruin your mind when you know that just a few more punches would have had your opponent down for the count.
Agreed makes 0 difference Shane was excellent and showed every single attribute that has made him one of the greats of this generation 
As much as it does look like a good springboard for excuses, unless you have actually broken your hand and continued fighting for another 9 rounds, it’s difficult to tell what sort of impact that has on your performance. I believe he did it in the 3rd and he had probably his best round in the 2nd so who knows. Probably would have still lost but it may have been a tad closer.
I know he threw more punches than Mosley did. I know he landed less. Did Mosley move in and out of range or did Collazo throw hesitantly because he was afraid of how much it would hurt when they did land?
I never saw any signs of pain on his face. I never noticed anything like Clottey who made sure the whole viewing world was aware of his hand injury by crying about it between each round. I never saw anything like Gatti/Baldomir when Gatti was favoring his injured hand.
Who knows…
nah me neither but trhere did look times when he looked ponderous but that could be down to Mosley’s speed and skill. Who knows. All i do know is shane Mosley is top top class 8)
He probably hurt it after the fight.
No doubt punched a locker room wall in frustration.
Nahhh I kid.
I still dig ya, Luis.
/pretending Collazo reads this thread.
I don’t know how fighters continue with broken hands - I did mine last year playing rugby and only lasted another 5-10mins before I had to come off, I think people could be a little kinder to Collazo.
Saying that I do suppose it matters how bad the break is.
Ok I saw the fight last night, and since he had said he hurt his hand in the 3rd round I paid close attention.. And, he looked discouraged as hell but sure didn’t say anything about his hand or look to be in any pain in his corner after rd.3.. I can only imagine it really wasn’t too serious, unless possibly he had injured it in training and fought regardless.. Seems to me, though I’ve never done it, if you fracture your hand right then and there your going to be in pain or at least after using the hand to punch would show pain. I never saw any reaction from Collazo the whole fight that really made me think he had hurt the hand during action..
Until a see a pic of the swollen hand,the xray or cast on his hand, this sound like BS to me. He says that the post-fight x-ray reveal a fracture thumb which is an unusual fracture in boxers and he also reports 3 torned ligaments which is BS as torn ligaments are not diagnosed on x-ray. They would need MRI for that. ::**
A broken hand would go someway towards explaining why Collazo lost by such a margin. Collazo won the second round and was looking very effective. If the hand was broken in the 3rd then that is partly why he struggled to make any further impact. Im not taking away from Mosley because he was awesome and far more accurate, but a broken bone in the hand is a nightmare situation..
It is weird how he didnt say anything to his corner about it though, the guy must have a high tolerance of pain and is tougher than I thought!
