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.[3] Qualification being dependent on how the opponent performed in later rounds was controversial and will not be used in future Olympics.[4]

Enrique won the gold medal at the 2010 Central American and Caribbean Games.[5]

At the 2012 Summer Olympics, Collazo was defeated in the first round by the Germany's Stefan Hartel with a score of 18-10.[6]
