    but didnt the right hand put him to sleep for long time. I mean come on he was unconscious for quiet some time which means even if it wasnt the headbutt that punch could have at least Knock him down.

    As for the headbutt both guys where moving there head toward each other. It was accident.

        It was an accident, but it was crucial contact and was integral to the KO. Yes, the punch ultimately ended the fight, but that was at the end of a sequence of events began by a debilitating headbutt. It definitely gives cause for a rematch IMO, considering that Holt had hit the canvas twice previously.

        Never seen someone sag quite like that against the ropes, it was like Fight Night Round 3 in live action!

          a rematch it is but it wont change the fight result but this time it will be abit in the mid or end rounds.

          but not immediate rematch

            I don't see how you can say that with any certainty considering Holt did not land a single effective punch before the knockout blow which came directly after a headbutt. Yeah it was a nice punch, but one even a rank journeyman would avoid 9 times out of 10. I feel bad for Torres, he should have won this fight impressively.

              I dont feel bad because the first fight when it was in Columbia Holt was thrown with bottles and cans and Holt, his team and his Girlfriend was endangered in that sitaution.

              so **** no he deserved to loss and he even didnt want a rematch

                after just watching the fight and aerial replay in slow motion...i recommend you all reconsider the evaluation of the knockout.

                Holt's headbutt was very powerful, Torres' legs buckled and he fell into the ropes sideways, and at the same time his left hand got caught in the rope....whilst trying to get out of that position, his left hand was still stuck...at that instance Holt king hit him....that is how he got KTFO..

                therefore, to me, the headbutt was very very influential.

                  It was very influential because Torres and Holt were moving toward each other.

                  Torres was backing off of Holt the slug fight before the headbutt

                    as a result of the headbutt...torres' left arm/hand got stuck in the rope and he fell back..and its kinda funny with the slow motion as you can see him trying to get it out...in time to defend his face..then ****..too late...lights out.

                    Holt had a free shot from side on at a person with no defense...so bring on a rematch..

                    ps..they are both avg fighters in my eyes anyway.

                      they are good but I think the other title holders will beat them

                      especially Hatton even though some people lost hope, His bodypunch sure will slow both fighters down to a KO
