Hopefully they call a rematch, the knockout was directly called by a Headbutt.

    Yeah that headbutt hurt Torres and Holt capitalized on it. They clashed heads and Torres was reeling for a little bit and didn't protect himself and Holt finished him off with a nice shot that crumbled Torres to the mat. If Holt doesn't get a decent fight after this then there will probably be a third fight. Im sure boxing fan's would want to see it again.

      I believe the accidental head butt right on the chin played a major role in the ko, you could see that Torres got hurt by it stumbling back to the ropes with his hands down and Holt finished him with a beautiful right that iced him. I can’t believe the commentators missed the head butt and I would definitely love to see them going at it again.

          Agreed.

            Hell yeah, Holt pulled a Bernie with that headbutt ****. The bernie set up the KO as Torres was FALLING BACK trying to regain his balance.

              The butt did play a pivotal role in the outcome IMO, but that right hand was something serious. Torres looked like he was dead.

                The minute he came off the ropes and got clocked I had images of Hearns-Duran in my head.

                  The headbutt definitely led to Torres stumbling back to the ropes and giving Holt the opportunity to come forward and land that monster right hand.

                    It wasn't unlike that in a lot of ways. I just don't like how thread starter is trying to credit the knockout solely to the head butt. I think you and I also saw a right hand at the end of the fight that might have played a role in the outcome of the fight.

                      I don't think that headbutt was harder than any punch Holt could have thrown. I mean it's not like he's a weak puncher and that right hand was brutal. It basically crumbled Torres and left him in pretty bad shape.
