Rafael criticized Holt for not fighting on ShoBox last night because his opponent came in 1.75 pounds overweight.

Holt's opponent had a career record of 7-9-1 so Rafael thought it was silly that Holt decided against fighting a bum because the bum was 1.75 pounds overweight.

I have to agree with Rafael on this one. And that's something that I rarely do.

It was a dumb reason to lose a payday against an opponent he most likely would have blown out, and I say that as a fan of Holt and a guy who wants to see him get his career back on track.

Well if u know boxing,U would know fighters here and there come overweight.
I understand why he choose not to fight him,But he was facing a damn bum.

Regardless of the Holt/weight issue,


Rafael is a turd and needs a beating.

....so does anyone actually know what Dan said that was so insulting? and I mean specific words?


I mean, Holt not fighting someone that was meant to be a sacrificial lamb anyway seems like a pointless career move. I understand that the guy weighed 162 on fight night, but who cares, it happens. Ive seen guys rehydrate a lot more than that overnight....

If the guy didnt make the weight in the first place then Holt had the option of just saying 'Im not fighting you' then and there. to change his mind because of a rehydrate thing is kind of silly, especially when you only called the guy in to get a guarenteed win anyway....

...unless Im getting this wrong and youre telling me he came in at 162lbs on the weigh in day for a Welterweight limit fight..?

[Mr. David]

exactly!

they were schedule to fight around the welter weight limit and holts opponent came over and then on fight night weighed 162lb!

even thou the guy is a journey men holt is chinny its not a smart risk to take on a guy that weighs 162lb on fight night no matter what record the guy has

Are our memories really that short?

Manny Pacquiao, weigh-in: 144 pounds.
Antonio Margarito, weigh-in: 150 pounds

Manny Pacquiao, fight night: 148 pounds
Antonio Margarito, fight night: 165 pounds

Granted, the situations are different. Holt wasn't giving up a huge, huge payday. But he also wasn't facing an opponent on his level.

It was a dumb reason to lose a payday against an opponent he most likely would have blown out, and I say that as a fan of Holt and a guy who wants to see him get his career back on track.

Co-sign.

Kendall Holts past his best, so no wonder why he complained about a cab drivers weight. That Cab Driver very well could pull off an upset.
