It only took Oscar Collazo, an American by birth, three years to claim the WBO minimumweight title from the former champion. Now he faces Thammanoon Niyomtrong, the champion of another WBA boxing organization.
Collazo boasts an undefeated record in 10 fights, with 7 of them ending in early knockouts. On the other hand, Niyomtrong is 7 years older than Collazo and has a less impressive knockout percentage. However, he has also never been defeated in his 12 years in the ring and has successfully defended his WBA minimumweight title 13 times since 2016.
These two exceptional athletes will now face off in the ring with one of their unbeaten records on the line. Minimumweight fights are known for their fast pace and intense action, making them more exciting than even heavyweight fights. The quick and elusive movements of these tiny boxers make it difficult for fans to keep up, and the intensity of the competition is unmatched.
