    First round, that's why. If it was in the 6th he wouldn't of got back up.

        Recovery from a shot like that requires great conditioning and a little luck.

        And yes. He wasn't gassed in the first round, but others have been KO'd in the first round and never recovered.

        Many top fighters don't recover from that.

        That was a clean shot to the kisser.

          Bradley's got a good chin on him.

            What really impressed me was how he got up and then had the intelligence to acknowledge he was hurt and required more time to recover, and then took a knee. Very good awareness. And I don't mean this as a cheap shot but that same awareness and intelligence would make Jermain Taylor WBC champ at 168 today.

              That's what brought him back to reality.

              Same happened to Chuck Liddell when he got lit by Rampage Jackson.

              Two hits. One from a punch that put him out, the other from the canvas which woke him back up.

                The KD's made it closer but Bradley clearly won imo.
                Yeah he just controlled the fight from there, he was even winning the last round until he got caught with another good shot... it wasn't even a huge knockdown in the last round either, just wobbled him a bit while off balance.

                Cause of the KD's it made the scored look closer but like you said when you watch the fight its clear who won...

                    That would of been a KO win for Holt had that been any other 140 pound fighter lol.
