Collazo stops Vayson, retains titles

Oscar Collazo (13-0, 10 KOs) retained the WBO and WBA world minimumweight titles, stopping Jayson Vayson (14-2-1) in round seven, on Saturday night in California.

Collazo dropped Vayson in round one and was leading clearly on points, when Vayson’s corner decided to stop the fight.

“I believe I had a good stoppage,” Collazo said. “I was putting pressure on, I was picking my shots. [Round 7] was the round we were going to throw and throw, and we got the stoppage. … The last three rounds I was breaking him down. I knew I was going to get him. I applied the pressure like I wanted. I saw he was slowing down, and I wanted to pick my shots in that round and it got stopped.”

In co-main event, Gabriela Fundora (17-0, 8 KOs) defended her undisputed flyweight title, defeating Alexas Kubicki (13-2, 2 KOs) via TKO in round seven.
