Enrique"Kikin"Collazo is an amateur boxer from Puerto Rico who qualified for the 2012 Olympics as a middleweight (75 kg).[1]
Enrique was a quarter-finalist and 5th place finisher at middleweight at the 2012 American Boxing Olympic Qualification Tournament. Five spots were available for qualification at middleweight and Enrique qualified over the other quarter-finalists since his loss was to the eventual winner Terrell Gausha.[2] Qualification being dependent on how the fighter a boxer lost to performed in later rounds was controversial and will not be used in future Olympics.[3]
Enrique won the gold medal at the 2010 Central American and Caribbean Games.[4]
At the 2012 Summer Olympics, Collazo was defeated in the first round by the German Stefan Hartel with a score of 18-10.[5]
