Kendall Holt vs. Lamont Peterson Eyed By Top Rank

[Gareth Ivanovic]

I think Holt/Torres three makes sense because of the controversy really in both fights. I wouldn't mind seeing Peterson take on Holt though because it would be a huge step up in competition for him. Holt will probably go with the fight that's going to bring him the most money.

[Jim Jeffries]

LOL at Lamont getting a title shot before facing one fighter in the top 20 even. Why not give the fans what they want to see, Torres/Holt III?

[giacomino]

Would rather see him fight Torres but a fight with Peterson is preferable to a mandatory against Blain, who has fought absolutely NOBODY and only has his #1 ranking because his German promoters have the WBO in their pockets. Blain may be the least qualified #1 ranked fighter in boxing, and that's saying something

Torres - Holt III!!!!!

Right after the fight while being interviewed ( Holt ) , people in the higher seats started chanting Peterson. They might have given Arum an idea. But TORRES vs HOLT 3 is only right. I don't know if Arum had already thought of this but I think he had.

I would like to see Holt-Torres 3 first, a Holt-Peterson fight could turn out to be a dull fight.

I suspect it could be a snoozer too, but Torres may need six months to shake off that KO and Holt probably wants to make some money first.

Meh...after that boring display Lamont put on Saturday, to put him against a boring ass guy like Holt, that **** is going to be a snoozer. Lamont is a good fighter, at least he throws and doesn't necessarily run like Holt, but he's just too methodical for my tastes, he doesn't have great pop but he could if he committed to all of his punches like he does to the left hook. I guess he's just trying to gain as much experience as he can against all of the bums he's faced so far, but man I wish he could just finish them off quicker and in a more impressive fashion. The potential is clearly there.

I definitely think Peterson is the better talent. The big question is the gap in experience.

[Drunken Cat]

Holt-Torres needs to happen.

****, the fight Saturday should probably be a no contest really.
