Match information

Oscar Collazo demonstrated his worth as a world titleholder in 2023. This year, Collazo wants to prove he is the best fighter at 105 pounds. Collazo will attempt to make the second successful defense of his WBO strawweight belt on Saturday, facing Reyneris Gutierrez of Nicaragua at the Footprint Center in Phoenix, Arizona. The 12-round bout will precede the main event bout between super middleweight contenders Jaime Munguia and John Ryder. Both fights will stream live on DAZN (8 p.m. ET/ 5 p.m. PT). The 27-year-old Collazo (8-0, 6 knockouts), who is originally from Newark, New Jersey and now resides in Villalba, Puerto Rico, won the WBO title on May 27, earning a knockout win after Melvin Jerusalem remained on his stool after round seven. Collazo, rated at No. 5 at strawweight by The Ring, made the first defense in his last bout on August 26, which was a homecoming of sorts as the fight took place in Puerto Rico. Collazo battered Garen Diagan, stopping him after the sixth round. Gutierrez (10-1, 2 KOs) will present another test for Collazo, who is the overwhelming favorite going into the fight. The only blemish on Gutierrez’s record was a unanimous decision loss to Alex Winwood on June 16. Fighting on another high-profile card, Collazo hopes to showcase his talent and prove he is a force to be reckoned with at 105 pounds.
