    Am I missing something?? Why is Torres such an underdog for Sat??

    I mean, I havn't seen the first fight between them but Torres won.

    Torres still holds the title, and the only time I've seen him was against Cotto, in a massive step up, and I was impressed.


    Correct me on this, caus i'm really thinking about making a bet on this one.

    Odds are 11/4 for Torres.

    So if he wins, and I bet £10 I stand to get £37.50.

    Torres got owned in the first fight, the stoppage was bogus. People were throwing cans and bottles into the ring. It was a dreadful fight.

        Torres dropped Holt with a nice hook, but he got up and was looking fine. The fight continued... Holt then ran away like he always does and the ref waved off the fight.

                Torres looked so good against Cotto because Cotto pressed the action and gave him the opportunity to throw combinations on the inside.

                Against Arnaoutis Torres looked bad and was lucky to get the decision and Holt has proven he can outbox and hurt Torres. Its just that Torres has a big punch and Holt seems very vulnerable what makes this fight so interesting and exciting.

                  Torres is a huge puncher but a crude boxer who goes down when the wind blows a little too hard.
                  He's exciting but he's not the most skillful guy around.

                  He was losing and was dropped in the 6th (Surprise, Surprise-Torres down)
                  and came back later.

                  I guess the oddsmakers remember his bad performances even in victory.

                  He seems to get dropped by lesser punching guys as well as the big guns.

                    I can't stand Holt, one of the most boring boxers I've ever seen, he gets on that bike for 12 rounds, I really hope Torres can knock his ass out for good in this fight, although I wouldn't be surprised if Holt wins a decision.
