Tomorrow (March 29th), the boxing world gears up for a big 105-pound showdown as unified champion Óscar Collazo (pictured) puts his WBA and WBO world titles on the line against Mexican challenger Edwin Cano. The Poliforum Benito Juárez in Cancún, Mexico, will set the stage for a high-stakes clash fueled by skill, ambition, and the promise of unforgettable action. Known as “El Pupilo,”  Collazo (11-0, 8 KOs) steps into the ring as an exciting and rising star. The Puerto Rican has established himself as a technically refined, blending precision and power. Standing in his way is Edwin Cano (13-2-1, 4 KOs), who has the biggest opportunity of his career in front of him. While the odds may not favor him, the Mexican warrior is riding a wave of momentum, fueled by recent victories that have strengthened his confidence. In boxing, nothing is more dangerous than a motivated fighter with nothing to lose and everything to win.

 

Both fighters have undergone grueling training camps. Collazo has logged over 100 rounds of sparring, fine-tuning every aspect of his game, while Cano has focused on speed and endurance, making key adjustments to counter the champion’s methodical approach.

 

This fight is more than just a title defense—it’s a clash of styles and mindsets. Collazo will look to control the action from mid-range, using his sharp jab to systematically break down the challenger. Cano, on the other hand, will likely aim to close the distance, pressuring aggressively and forcing heated exchanges to turn the tide in his favor.

 

There’s also the undeniable factor of fighting on Cano’s home turf. A roaring Mexican crowd can often serve as an equalizer, especially in tightly contested battles. However, Collazo has shown he thrives under pressure, unfazed by the challenges of fighting on the road.
