Oscar Collazo Retains WBO, WBA and Ring Strawweight Titles on Round-7 Corner Stoppage

The Puerto Rican champion’s next target is full unification at 105 pounds.

Overview

  • Collazo defeated Jayson Vayson via KO when Vayson’s corner threw in the towel at 1:41 of Round 7 at Fantasy Springs in Indio, California, on DAZN.
  • The referee intervened as the corner signaled surrender, drawing on-air criticism and confusion over how the stoppage unfolded.
  • Collazo scored a first-round knockdown off a glancing right hook that some viewed as close to a slip, and both fighters landed heavy body shots in competitive middle rounds.
  • The win preserves Collazo’s WBO, WBA and The Ring belts and advances his push to meet IBF titleholder Melvin Jerusalem and WBC champion Pedro Taduran for undisputed status.
  • The DAZN card also featured undisputed flyweight champion Gabriela Fundora versus late replacement Alexas Kubicki after Ayelen Granadino’s visa issue.
