Good point about Bradley, Mathed. People forget that Bradley didn't see that punch and it lifted him off the ground with full power. I don't know how he got up from that.
Dude's mind is in a place of confidence that I doubt very few people have experienced. Headbutts aside, he is mentally tougher than virtually anyone I have seen.
Holt should get another confidence builder fight and then fight Mabuza again to try to avenge his loss. It still bothers me that he lost to a guy with so many losses by stoppage, who even Judah beat. If you look at the way Holt moves and punches, it makes you wonder how he lost to Mabuza.
Other than those 2 knockdowns, Holt didn't even show up for the Bradley fight. I was screaming at the TV in that fight, Holt throw punches man! he really got me tight. It's like he looked like he was gonna be the man at 140 after his TKO1 win over Torres, then he just flopped badly. I want this guy to come back, he's a very talented fighter and I want to see more of him but I want to see an 100% Holt. Not that Holt we saw against Bradley and Mabuza.

Holt is very talented: quick, strong, good reflexes...his mind is his weakness. All sports are 90% mental and 10% physical.
