Holt KTFO Torres To Win WBO Junior Welterweight Title!!!


Whew!!! Wow!!! Exciting!!! Non Stop Action!!! Knockout of the year!!! Round of the year!!! All these words describe what happened in the Kendall Holt-Ricardo Torres rematch. They did not come to box, they came to fight. And fight they did. Ricardo Torres came right at Kendall Holt as soon as the bell rang. Eventually landing a hard right hand to drop Holt. Holt got back up quickly and Torres attacked him again. Torres landed a couple more shots and had Holt down again. Holt got up so quick that when Jay Nady was going towards Torres to get him in the neutral corner, Torres hit Holt again. Nady never saw Torres land the other left hook on Holt as he stood back up. So two knockdowns in less than a minute and it appears Holt would probably get KOd. Wrong!!! As Torres stalked Holt, Holt connected with a left hook to the body and accidentally headbutted Torres under his chin. The headbutt did some damage to Torres because as he backed up he dropped his hands. Torres was drove into the ropes and then Holt connected with a devastating right hand. Torres went down into the ropes and was not moving. Once Jay Nady saw Torres was not moving he waved it off and called for doctor's aid. At first I thought Torres was dead because he was not moving at all. When they laid him down his eyes were not moving either. That was a scary few moments there. I was wrong, because I thought Holt would get KOd. He still has a weak chin as he displayed getting knocked down twice. However he had the punch to end the fight. I knew he could hurt Torres as he showed in their first fight. However I did not see the KO coming last night, especially after Holt had been down twice. To see Holt KO Torres was a huge surprise, yet very exciting. That 61 seconds of action is most definitely the round of the year and perhaps the KO of the year. They should probably fight a third time. For those of you who did not see the accidental headbutt, it is hard to see unless you watch it on a replay. It happened so fast it was easy to miss. Anyway it goes, Holt got the job done.
