After stopping Knockout CP Freshmart and most recently Edwin Cano in March, the Puerto Rican star will put his WBA and WBO unified minimumweight world titles on the line against Filipino fighter Jayson Vayson at Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio, California, and live on DAZN, on Saturday night.

Like Collazo (12-0, 9 KOs), Vayson (14-1-1 with 1 no contest, 8 KOs) is riding a two-fight knockout streak, having last stopped Jirawat Aiamong in two rounds in March as well.

Collazo has been vocal about his goal to reign as undisputed ruler of the minimumweight division and must defeat Vayson to illuminate that path.

Will Collazo deliver another impressive statement victory? Or will Vayson find a way to produce the massive upset?

With the stakes high heading into the world championship fight, DAZN News analyzes the Keys to Victory for both Collazo and Vayson.

Oscar Collazo’s Keys to Victory

Change levels, make early deposits to the body

Changing levels and lowering his 5-foot-2 frame to stab jab to the body is already a major tactic used by Oscar Collazo.

Against a gritty Jayson Vayson who also pressures forward, Collazo’s deposits to the body could push the Filipino fighter back and soften him up enough so the champion could detonate something more damaging upstairs.

Launch the right hook

His most explosive weapon, Collazo launches the right hook with devastating results.

The aforementioned body attack often helps buy him a green light and lane to land this vaunted shot clean.

Doing so against Vayson within the flow of his offense or as a pounding counterpunch could spell a scintillating knockout victory for the champ.

Puzzle Vayson with punch selection

Watch Collazo fight and the way he diversifies his punch selection is a sight to behold, especially when piecing together combinations.

The Puerto Rican warrior has a deep bag to dip into when it comes to his punch palette as he is able to generate power jabs, crunching hooks to the body and around opponents’ guards, and slicing uppercuts in any order he opts for in real time.

Keeping his punch selection and placement varied against Vayson could be a major key to getting his hand raised in victory.

Jayson Vayson’s Keys to Victory

Assert the jab, doubling up on it if possible

Jayson Vayson uses his jab to fight forward, doubling up on the weapon with quickness well, too.

If he can assert the jab early against Oscar Collazo, Vayson could open the pathway to dole out some more significant damage.

Load up on body shots

Like Collazo, Vayson makes a concerted effort to attack the body.

Loading up on body shots could slow the champion’s forward progress, making the challenger’s chance for an upset more viable.

Do not get too careless

With this being Vayson’s first crack at a world title, he cannot afford to get overzealous and subsequently careless because Collazo will spot any trace of this and pick him apart.

Vayson’s risk taking must be measured throughout or Collazo’s pointed counterpunching will make him pay for it dearly.
