Video of Ricardo Torres - Kendall Holt Round 11

[EliteSoldier]

If anyone is at fault its Kendall Holt, he made it look like he was out, on the ropes getting hit, and not answering anything kept backing up, he looked gassed to me. I don't think the ref has a choice when your taking flush shots and bend over at a 45 degree angle looking like your about to fall forward.

I don't know how bad the beer and water was in the ring it didn't look as bad as described by the press, the press made it seem like he was falling all over the place, Torres was also in the ring with the same conditions so I don't see that as an excuse.

In my opinion you can't blame the ref here.

terrible stoppage......................................ther e is no argument that can say that it wasn't. holt wasn't hurt to the point to where he wasn't able to defend or fight back, holt was throwing a punch when the ref stopped and he wasn't even out on his feet.


terrible hometown favoring from the ref..............

plus the crowd throwing **** into the ring, that aint good for any fighter.

You saw torres slip on the beer that his own dumb fans threw in the ring if you watch this video thats what looks like happened a couple of times to torres in this round atleast.

the fight probably could of went on but holt did look hurt

I wish the ref did let it go on. So, Holt could have been ko'd out of the ring. aka... Rahman rockman style. Holt looked exhausted and deserved to be ko'd out of the ring.

Watching only this round, yes the ref could have let it go on. But when seeing the fight in its entirety it was a fair stoppage, you got to remember Torres already had knocked down Holt and had him on his bicycle, so helpless as Holt was the ref was thinking if Torres the "puncher" hits Holt clean, Holt may be ko'd and sent to the hospital. Torres was a puncher, and that had to impact the decision to stop the fight as Holt did look defenceless for a few seconds.

Holt did his best impression of Floyd Mayweather, just traded one to many times and got caught.

[ELPacman]

Wow, I thought Holt was actually in the fight. Not in this round he wasn't. This round completely made the case that he was hurt, on his bike, and definitely hurt after the knockdown. He just didn't fight back. Sure he waits until he doesn't answer many shots before throwing 1 shot when the ref decides to break and stop the fight. Holt made me feel for him in that video interview. I'm not so sure I do now.

this sums it up. Horrible although not as bad as say Calzaghe's BS stoppage over Manfredo

[kukuy77]

Early stoppage but no doubt Holt was hurt.
Holt was just running away before the ko.

[Undefeated]

Holt was hurt. Early stoppage yes. The ref saved his life from a even worse beating.

[Primal Instinx]

I saw Holt take 9 unanswered punches until the ref stop the fight then he jabbed....robbed my a$$. I have seen worse stoppages in my day and this was far from a bad stop!
