Holt may not have a chin .. but he will be back.
Im amazed Torres got up from that knock down he looked like he was out cold.[/QUOTE]
yeah he straight up dropped him there.
you saw like half way through the clip Holt got an earlier knock down ... and what does the referee do? waves his hands like Torres slipped.
get of Torres nuts seriously. you know how ****** you sound saying Holt and Paulie have similar power, or something of that nature.
Holt dropped Torres 2 times ... but the ref only counted one of them.
what has Torres done besides getting dropped 4 times in a loss to Miguel Cotto?Comment

"he'd be in the hospital with a concussion" seriously what did Holt do, rob you or something?
and if Holt was running the whole time, how come he knocked Torres down?
but looking at the clip vs reading the article. it definetly looked like a legit stoppage.
and seriously that was Holt's first title fight EVER.
give the dude some slack .. sure he's ****y, but who isn't .. come on, numerous athletes talk ****.Last edited by MJ406; 09-02-2007, 11:07 PM.Comment

Torres did get dropped 4 times vs Cotto right?
or am I making that up? (how is that "hate" im stating it as a fact)
PS considering I've never met or spoken to Ricardo Torres in my entire life, let alone seen him .. I don't think I hate the guy. hell I've only seen 1 of his fights (vs Cotto)
but no its coo. the stoppage was waranted and Holt should just suck it up. Why do boxers always make excuses?
*this isn't as bad as Bautista's 1st title fight.
I stress again, this was Kendall Holt's first shot at a title.
hopefully he can learn from it, and not get KO'd.Comment

Wow that left hook.. Right on the chin.. When did that happen? Early in round 11? How much time was left? It did look a slight premature though.. If there was alot of time left I think Torres would have PROBALY finished him off.Comment

Peter Manfredo was ducking and slipping punches against the ropes and didn't even get knocked down at all, but was "stopped" by Calzaghe. How then does this compare to Torres' stoppage of Holt?? It's a vast difference if you ask me. At least Torres actually hurt his opponent and had him on the canvas. And he at least followed up with a finishing flurry where the referee just didn't want Holt to get hurt and so the fight was stopped. So if Calzaghe can get a stoppage without even hurting or knocking down his opponent then Torres' actions more than warranted a stoppage. In this light then, I see no problem with this fight's ending.Comment
