As reported late last night on BoxingScene.com, Ricardo Torres withdrew from his trilogy bout with WBO junior welterweight champion Kendall Holt, scheduled for December 13 on Showtime. Torres pulled after indicating to Top Rank that an illness hampered his training for the fight. Torres�saw no way that he�was going to make the 140-pound weight limit. Undefeated Demetrius Hopkins, nephew of Bernard,�will be taking his place on short notice.

Hopkins was originally scheduled to appear on the undercard against Germaine Sanders. Lou DiBella was contacted for the availability of Randall Bailey, another fighter who was in the running to take the place of Torres. Bailey was not in fighting shape and couldn't�accept the opportunity without the proper time to prepare.

[QUOTE=jreckoning;4444204]I just pray this isn't a Golden Boy Demetrius Hopkins type victory over Steve Forbes.[/QUOTE] I'm scared of that too if D-Hop gets a funny victory win like he did over Forbes... Clearly judges were paid off, no one is stupid to actually believe that D-Hop won that fight.

I just pray this isn't a Golden Boy Demetrius Hopkins type victory over Steve Forbes. That's all I really ask from this, a fair decision. Holt is maddening because he has power and speed, a somewhat shaky chin, but can at times not use his gifts. If D-Hop beats him fine, but I want him t...
