Kendall Holt To Defend Against Demetrius Hopkins

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

As reported late last night on BoxingScene.com, Ricardo Torres withdrew from his trilogy bout with WBO junior welterweight champion Kendall Holt, scheduled for December 13 on Showtime. Torres pulled after indicating to Top Rank that an illness hampered his training for the fight, and he saw no way that he going to make the 140-pound weight limit. Undefeated Demetrius Hopkins, nephew of Bernard, will be taking his place on short notice. [details]

If Kendall Holt doesn't beat D-Hopkins, then he should retire... This should be a win for Kendall Holt. Only Hopkins in that family-line that is good is Bhop.

Surprised Hopkins had the guts to take this fight after pulling out of fighting Junior Witter earlier this year. He must have run out of options.

I forgot all about Hopkins. This is a big chance for him to shine. I think Holt outboxes him tho.

now its official....cool ticket buyers better bring a can of air freshener because I have a feelin' they're gonna stink up the place

[PoetryInMotion]

Could have been worse. Still sucks....damn Torres.

I think Holt will win this. He'll beat D-Hop to the punch all night unless Hop pulls out some Michael Warrick type **** on him.

Finally D-Hop takes a real fight. Holt by UD in a stinker.

The Witter fight was all about promotional problems. This is a case of an opportunity falling right into his lap.
