Jayson Vayson Suffers Controversial Corner Stoppage in World Title Bout Against Oscar Collazo

Filipino boxer Jayson Vayson faced a contentious defeat during his inaugural world championship attempt, falling to undefeated WBO and WBA strawweight titleholder Oscar Collazo at Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio, California.

Vayson, who dropped in weight class to challenge the Puerto Rican champion, experienced a flash knockdown in the opening round but remained uninjured. He responded fiercely in the subsequent rounds, engaging in intense exchanges with Collazo, known for his relentless pressure style.

The match escalated dramatically in the seventh round when the referee abruptly halted the contest following Vayson's corner throwing in the towel. Many observers were taken aback by the stoppage, as Vayson appeared physically able to continue in the fight.

This stoppage marked the second loss in Vayson's professional career, bringing his record to 14 wins, 2 losses, and 1 draw, with 8 victories by knockout. Meanwhile, Collazo maintained his spotless record at 13-0 with 10 knockouts.
