AND STILL! PUERTO RICO’S WBO MINIMUMWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPION OSCAR “EL PUPILO” COLLAZO CONTINUES HIS METEROIC RISE WITH THIRD ROUND TKO OF REYNERIS GUTIERREZ

In an explosive co-main event, presented in association with Miguel Cotto Promotions, Villalba, Puerto Rico’s Oscar “El Pupilo” Collazo (9-0, 7 KOs) continued his historic, meteoric rise and successfully defended his WBO Minimumweight World Championship title a second time against Reyneris Gutierrez (10-2, 2 KOs) of Matagalpa, Nicaragua. Collazo dominated from the opening round, breaking Gutierrez down slowly up until the third round where Collazo sent him to the mat. Gutierrez was able to recover, only to be dominated yet again by a flurry of punches leading for the referee to stop the fight at 2:37 in the third.

“I picked my punches, and I knew it was coming eventually. Step by step with my punches, I knew in that round that I was going to land,” said WBO Champion Oscar Collazo. “I’m a good finisher in the ring, and when I see them stumble bad and they’re hurt, I’m coming for the kill. It was a beautiful camp; I did all things well for 12 weeks. I think as a champion, you must work hard always because you know a lot of people want what I got, but I have to keep working hard. I’ll see you all in May or April; I want all the champions! I want to unify this year.”
