Luiz Collazo confident of beating Ricky Hatton
WBA welterweight champion Luiz Collazo has accused Ricky Hatton's camp of underestimating him ahead of their bout in Boston on 13 May.
Luiz Collazo, 24, said: "They're looking past me, but they picked the wrong guy.
"I'm a slick southpaw." claimed the American boxer. "Styles make fights, and I'm the exact wrong style for Hatton.
"He's one of the best at 140lbs but he's moving up to 147 and it's a whole new ballgame. If he wants to bang we'll bang - it's going to be a great fight."
Ricky Hatton is moving up a division from light welterweight to take on Luiz Collazo, who has won 26 out of 27 fights, earned his title last April and has defended it once already.
Ricky Hatton has given up his IBF light welterweight title to challenge Luiz Collazo rather than mandatory challenger Naoufel Ben Rabah.
