Rivera’s backyard

Jose Antonio Rivera (l.) ducks Luis Collazo’s jab, but Collazo comes out on top and takes Rivera’s belt back to Brooklyn.
WORCESTER, Mass. - Luis Collazo knew that he was walking into the bear’s cave when he took the match against WBA welterweight champ Jose Antonio Rivera at the DCU Center in Rivera’s hometown last night.
But he had seen Zab Judah pull off the feat of lifting the welterweight title from a hometown hero back on Feb. 5 when Judah went to St. Louis and stopped Cory Spinks. And Collazo wanted to do the same thing.
Collazo did, scoring a 12-round split decision over Rivera before a stunned crowd. And now, with Collazo and Judah holding titles, Brooklyn is the welterweight capital of the world. Judge Levi Martinez of New Mexico and judge Nelson Vasquez of Puerto Rico each scored it 115-113 for Collazo, while judge Paul Barry of Massachusetts scored it 115-113 for Rivera. The Daily News scored it 116-112 for Collazo.
“I won early and the last couple of rounds I won big,” Collazo said. “I only had two weeks to prepare for him and I beat him.”
Rivera is no mug either!
Must have been a good win and should be a good fight for Ricky.
