Underestimating your opponent is always a dangerous thing, especially if you're a world champ.

UK's Luther Clay talked a lot about what a lucky hick Billy Collins Jr. was to be getting a title shot & Clay ended up paying for all his lip as he absorbed a 15 round beating - Clay was dropped 4 times & lost on the cards: 150-132, 150-133 & 148-134.

These were 2 evenly matched fighters but Clay came in soft mistakenly thinking the Tennessee import would be an easy touch. Billy fought like the old song - Coward of the County, 20 years of crawling was bottled up inside him!

Billy PL: 453 (26%) to 234 (37%).
