To be celebrating like that while you'r opponant is on the rope looking he is in a coma is disgraceful behaviour. The man has no class and I hope he gets he ass kicked in a re-match.
A few of you have said "boxing should not go with smaller gloves as they used to have because they can injure the fighter?"
You acted like you actually cared about the fighter.........now here you are defending how Holt was acting after Torres was out on his knees..
There has to be a 3rd match!
There isnt any need to defend Holt because he hasnt done anything wrong, Critisicing him is a bit harsh IMO though after what he has been through on an emotional level, I also think Torres deserves a rematch and would win the rematch if it happens, He had Holt down twice within 40seconds which show they guy hits hard.
If the headbutt didnt happen i think he would have finished Holt by the second round...I would love to hear what he had to say in his post-fight interview.

nothing wrong with celebrating... he shouldn't go over and try to help the downed fighter up like pacquiao did diaz... let the doctor get there and do his work and make sure the downed fighter is ok.
First off, this sorry comment about "you'll do anything to hype black fighters up" sound like you must think I'm a coalition dude or something. What other black fighters have I propped up? Second, he talked about his plan on how to counter Torres who HE said would attack him early, in which he did. The rest of your post is nothing but a cry baby response. My standards are win the fight, and Holt did in superb fashion. He got up, while Torres was slumped.
Floyd Mayweather is bulletproof. That would be enough about hyping black fighters.
Second of all, countering is one thing, but he ACTED, DO YOU GET IT, ACTED like it ALL went according to plan. It didn't. If you think it did, you're a moron.
Furthermore, winning isn't whats most important, it's about HOW you win. He landed two shots and one was a heabutt. Nothing to be PROUD of. COngrats to him, he did what he had to do, but it doesn't make it superb, and deep down, if the roles were reversed with Holt and Torres, I'm almost positive that you'd have an entirely different idea of this fight.
In closing, I'm crying about nothing in terms of the fight, or anything for that matter. I strictly said he could act more like a professional AFTER the fight. For his own sake, for that matter. If Torres had died, I'm pretty sure he'd of felt like a real dick.
I know he's meant to hurt people, he's a fighter. But at the end of the day, things like that can affect you.
LOL for saying Holt is a disgrace for celebrating after a win. Yes Torres was in bad shape when he was down, but what was Holt supposed to do help him up or say a prayer for him. It's competition and it's boxing, it happens. If he was talking shit about him in the interviews than I could see that as a disgrace.
That wasn't what he was saying? You guys are bugging out lol. You are accusing him of purposely not caring for a hurt fighter. He isn't a doctor, he is a fighter. He didn't run over and talk crap to him while he was down, he celebrated. Are you related to Torres? This is the same fighter who almost had cotto brutally taken out at that.
Seriously, you literally will do ANYTHING to hype up black fighters. It's ridiculous. I never pull out the race card, except with WLAD OWNS, and VIVA MEXICO!.. that's how bad you are.
The triangle of douche bags is complete.
I'm not talking about him caring or not caring. I'm talking about him standing near Torres, seeing that he was still down or sitting, and raising his arm in victory. Instead of being like.. 'Hey, you alright?' It takes 5 seconds, not that hard.
Mike Tyson, a silver dollar douche bag of a person, would RUN OVER to a hurt person after almost knocking their block off. MIKE TYSON. An alleged RAPIST has more compassion than Holt was able to show.
I'm not asking him to not celebrate before, during or after Torres was hurt. But to act as if Torres wasn't SLUMPED OVER THE ROPES for 30 seconds, is insane to me. Plus, he fucking knows he headbutted him. He hit him hard, I doubt he didn't feel it.
Regardless, he said.. 'We planned this.. blah blah blah.'
Fighters do plan for how they get knocked down. But he didn't plan for th fight to unfold like that. No one in hell they had a stradegy entitled 'What to do if you get knocked down twice within the first minute.' No fucking way in hell and that's what he acted like. As if everything went according to plan. So you can keep your little condescending post to yourself.
Also, if Holt was superb in getting his ass kicked for the better part of a minute and landing two punches, you have very low standards.
THe one problem I have with his celebration was that he acted as if all went to plan. Like he expected to get beaten down for the better part of a minute and than headbutt him and knock him out.
Hate that shit.
Kind of like Michael Moore telling George Foreman " Don't fake it " after Big George said he was setting him up all night for one special right hand.
The guy in his post fight interview felt bad for the guy. I think he was saying GOD BLESS HIM. It is not like he said "He deserved getting KTFO". He actually went to torress' corner and asked if he was okay. fuck out with this thread dude!
I think to critise Holt is a bit harsh, I doubt he knew how bad Torres was while he celebrate his victory, I think with all that happened in the first fight then having to go through alot to get the rematch then getting KD twice in the first 40 seconds of the rematch!!! It would be all too much for anyone to handle if you can comeback from all of that to win by KO in the same round that you were KD twice.
To be celebrating like that while you'r opponant is on the rope looking he is in a coma is disgraceful behaviour. The man has no class and I hope he gets he ass kicked in a re-match.
I hope so too.
Holt is one of he nice guys in boxing. He didn't do anything after the Diaz fight so stop lying.
watch that fight again ... after he won he went nuts rolling around on the floor screaming, he was acting like a fool since the crowd was booing him, he started shaking his ass at the crowd and making faces. His own corner men told him to act like a professional.

if you've ever boxed its a lot of adrenaline going through you.....even after you've won and being on a stage that big for a world title against a man who controversially beat you the 1st time......and knocks you down twice in the 1st round......you cant blame him for celebrating
calm down lol

I think celebrating after winning your first world title winning by first round KO after being dropped twice in the first round is totally acceptable.
It's not as if there was anything he could do, hes not a doctor, he should celebrate, let the doctors do their job, check on and shake his hand later.
Y'all need to understand, I aint a Torres fan. He aint even listed in my fav fighters list. This is only the second fight I've seen of his-the first being the Holt/Torres 1st fight. So, this bad loser thing dont wash I dont really give a shit about Torres or Holt as fighters. I was just showing conern for a downed fighter who looked like he was dead.
THe one problem I have with his celebration was that he acted as if all went to plan. Like he expected to get beaten down for the better part of a minute and than headbutt him and knock him out.
Hate that shit.
I think I know what you mean.... He was like "yep! we practiced that... and that.... and that.... we practiced all that!" Yeah im sure.

You are a disgrace to intelligence, dude he JUST won his FIRST world title. I would be doing the SAME exact thing as him, and so would you.
