I know this fight isn't till June, but I was kinda irked reading this off ESPN's fight calendar.
"Kendall Holt vs. Josesito Lopez, 12 rounds, IBF junior welterweight eliminator;"
leading up to Holt's FNF Welterweight bout vs Coleman, wasn't their all this talk about how Holt outgrew 140 and was better off up at Welterweight (what his trainer Buddy McGirt said at least)
^ that article with Buddy was up on this site if I'm not mistaken.
plus if you look at Holt's last loss, was in a JR WW eliminator BUT he won two fights @ Welterweight to earn the title Eliminator bout with Garcia.
I don't see all this yo yo'ing between 140 and Welterweight as helpful to his career. And IMO the dumbest thing is Holt's earning these 140 opportunities by winning fights above Junior Welterweight
140 or WW, can he make up his damn mind already? if Jr WW is so tough to make don't fight there at all
because a loss obviously hurts his career, but a win in an 140lb eliminator means Holt will stay at 140 for a while longer.
**I don't get it, from getting Title Eliminators at 140 by winning bouts in the weight class above
to sticking around at a weight class (140) you're on record saying it's tough to make and leaves you very fatigued on fight night
