    Four scorecards? There are only three scorecards in boxing, brother.

    BTW, he was ahead on two cards at the end of the 10th. After the 11th, had it finished, the 10-8 round would've put him BEHIND on TWO scorecards, meaning he'd have to win the twelfth round just to get a MAJORITY DRAW.

    I haven't seen the fight but I can't wait until it's uploaded so I can watch it.

      Typo, sorry about that one, I need to see the fight to judge for myself, I still wouldn't mind a rematch though.

        Freaking Holt, exciting fighter but chinny as hell with stamina issues.

          I've seen Rodriguez work some fights in Chicago and always thought he did well, but if he let the fight continue while the crowd threw debris into the ring, the WBO shouldn't let him ever work another title fight, and if he did verbally assault Holt after the fight, no promoter should want to use someone who can't act professional

            So true, it is SOOOO unprofessional to want to FIGHT a boxer you just finished officiating a match with. Of course holt's emotions were running and he was mad but The ref should have been the bigger man.

              But this was a Colombian radio stationm so it could have been biased. Writers for this site also could have been biased, becaise the Kendal Hold story that was told about him here and how hes against all odds.

              I need to SEE this fght for myself, not just listen to Colombian announcers who could be very biased.
              have you heard of World Cup 94 what happen to the columbian who scored own goal

              you seen him in Chicago where there isnt outside force pressure in him, I told people that the fight is going to be conterversal because it was in Columbia.

              Holt traveled to Columbia to fight for the title that many fighters would never to to fight a hometown hero in a place where it is corupted. He was expecting something like this.

              This riot there was normal you didnt see football riots where some peopel are stabbed in the neck

                You gotta wonder what Holt said to him though, the article does not go into those details. For all we know Holt squared up to him.

                    This fight was a circus and a joke. Throwing beer into the ring? Rodriguez wanting to fight Holt? Premature stoppages? Bunch of coke heads.

                      Because it was almost people dont remeber that thing and even a close fight people remeber if it a win or not.

                      agree with you. I know something was going to happen something like that because it part of there culture in places the boo and in ther places there is riot.

                      Maybe Holt was lucky that he didnt finish the fight because the riot could been much worse
