By Scott Gilfoid: Former WBA welterweight champion Luis Collazo (35-5, 18 KO’s) says he’s relaxed without any pressure on him at all in his fight tonight against Amir Khan (28-3, 19 KO’s) at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. The reason why the 33-year-old Collazo doesn’t have pressure on him is that he’s not the one trying to look especially sharp in order to get a fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr.
It’s Khan who has said over and over again that he needs to beat Collazo in an impressive manner in order to force Mayweather to fight him. That belief has been echoed by Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer, who said this week that Khan needs to totally dominate Collazo for him to have a chance for the Mayweather fight.
By Chris Williams: Amir Khan (28-3, 19 KO’s) and Luis Collazo (35-5, 18 KO’s) came in at the welterweight limit at 147lbs in their weigh-in on Friday for their big fight tomorrow night. Khan is still hoping to steal the show with a big win over Collazo to earn him a fight against Mayweather later this year. Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer said that Khan doesn’t need a KO to put him in the position to get the Mayweather fight.

Khan has been struggling to make 140 for a while now, and now that he’s moved up 7 pounds, he expects that to give him more power than before. 
By Allan Fox: Despite the retirement talk from Floyd Mayweather Jr. about this possibly being his last fight of his career this Saturday night against Marcos Maidana, Amir Khan (28-3, 18 KO’s) still believes he’ll be able to get a fight against Mayweather if he shines bright against Luis Collazo (35-5-, 18 KO’s) this Saturday night in their clash at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. Golden Boy Promotions matched Khan against Collazo, with the chance that he might get a fight against Mayweather if he impresses fans enough and interests the huge star.

Collazo says he prefers being an underdog for some reason. I guess it comes down to Collazo wanting to fight without pressure, and with a feeling like he has something to prove to boxing fans. Collazo’s definitely got something to prove, because he’s not done much with his career in the past 5 years. 
By Scott Gilfoid: Ricky Hatton recently attempted to give Amir Khan (28-3, 19 KO’s) in advice about his May 3rd opponent Luis Collazo (35-5, 18 KO’s). Hatton’s advice was for Khan to avoid going to war with Collazo and to use in and out movement for 12 round. But Khan says he doesn’t need Hatton’s advice in moving up in weight, because he feels that he did a better job in moving up than Hatton did when he moved up in weight to challenge Collazo for his WBA 147lb title in 2006. 
By Scott Gilfoid: Amir Khan (28-3, 19 KO’s) believes that his trainer Virgil Hunter has improved him in the past year, and he feels that moving up to 147 will make him a stronger fighter than he was in the past when he steps inside the ring on Saturday night against 33-year-old Luis Collazo (35-5, 18 KO’s) at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. Khan needs a win in this fight against Collazo, and he needs to also look good so that boxing fans will demand that he fight Floyd Mayweather Jr, who will be facing Marcos Maidana in the main event on Saturday at the MGM Grand.
By Scott Gilfoid: Amir “King” Khan (28-3, 19 KO’s) will be in the ring this Saturday night in his quest to get a $10 million payday against Floyd Mayweather Jr. for later this year in September. To get this big payday fight, Khan has to beat Luis Collazo (35-5, 18 KO’s) and do it in such a manner that he impresses the fans and most of all he impresses Mayweather. It’s Mayweather who Khan has to sell himself to with his performance against Collazo. 
By Scott Gilfoid: Amir Khan (28-3, 19 KO’s) thinks he’ll not only steal the show in two weeks in his fight against Luis Collazo (35-5, 18 KO’s) on the May 3rd Floyd Mayweather Jr vs. Marcos Maidana fight card at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada, but he’ll also force Mayweather to fight him by looking so good in the Collazo fight.
