Had that fight been in Colombia..

Good info but i disaggree with the power Holt has. He has power but the clear power edge goes to Torres. After all the headbutt set up the right hand along with Torres left had getting caught in the ropes. Torres OBVIOUSLY has more power. Haha, I didn't think anyone would ever dispute that. But boxing is never a contest of power vs. power. It is Holt's power vs. Torres's chin and Torres's power vs. Holt's chin. Cotto knocked Torres down a trillion times and now he was KO'd by Holt (although I can't imagine anyone staying awake after taking that punch). Maybe I am putting too much stock into Holt KO'ing Torres last night, but... I do think that Holt might have the chance to KO him again if he catches him right. These are the kind of fights that have the ingredients for a great fight. I hope they do it again!

Well apparently I only had half the story. I will say that a third one would be sweet. I think Holt has some great skills that should allow him to outbox a power puncher like Torres, but... he seems to have some defensive liabilities that do get him caught sometimes (as shown with his first loss against that giant scrub, and both fights against Torres). So the interesting thing before last night was to see if Holt could keep himself from getting caught big long enough to win a decision, but now there is the issue of Holt having more power than previously thought, and Torres showing a chin that isn't 100% granite (he has been KO'd twice now). This is a damn sweet matchup if I do say so. Good info but i disaggree with the power Holt has. He has power but the clear power edge goes to Torres.

Five minutes after the last punch was thrown, Torres sat on his stool with an icepack on his head. “I had him, he was in my hands. I got careless, he caught me,” said Torres after the fight. “A head butt caught me and made me off-balance and I never saw the last punch.” http://www.thesweetscience.com/boxing-article/6040/kendall-holt-wins-nuke-fest/ He said he got careless and got caught....be he also said, and i quote "There was some sort of head butt that took me off balance.

any word on what Torres had to say? there definetly has to be a a 3rd match, Holt saw a golden oppurtunity and took it He said he got careless and got caught....be he also said, and i quote "There was some sort of head butt that took me off balance.

He said it was a good shot and he shouldn't have gotten so careless. I don't think he had anything negative to say about the headbutt.

I don't really know what could have been done about the situation honestly. If Nady saw it, he would have halted the action... but he didn't, so... you really can't fault anyone for it. It wasn't intentional. This is the kind of shit that happens in this sport, and it will continue to happen. Did Holt benefit from the headbutt? Obviously. Should the victory be tainted because of it? No. He didn't intentionally foul and followed all of the referee's instructions. Good win for Kendall Holt. A third one would be a sweet deal, and I do think that it is probably deserved for Torres.

It would have been a double knockout because a beer bottle would have hit Holt in the head.

somebody would've bottled holt's ass!!! too bad.........

last night and Torres headbutted Holt and then KOd him, there would be a fuking UPROAR! About how unfair it was. The headbutt clearly rocked Torres, he went into the ropes and his arm got caught. He was wide open for a right hand. If you give a pro boxer at that level a free shot (never mind when your already rocked) hes most likely gonna take you out. That right hand was vicious no doubt, but the headbutt cleary set it up in my eyes. controversial win, they need to go a 3rd! I agree.....they would have murder Holt, Nady and the whole clan for that.....no one would have been left alive!!!!

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh Boooooooooooooyyy!!!!!!!!!
