just read a brief note that Holt took a beating- the African was too strong for him hoping to catch a stream of the replay later.
Doesn't surprise me though. Holt never impressed me as having a strong chin
Mystery to me but have to love the upsets.Keeps boxing world going around.Guess that chin caught up to him.
Here's the wire story-note Moretti's comments at the end of the srticle
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. - Philadelphia welterweight Mike Jones remained undefeated Saturday night with a unanimous decision over Henry Bruseles at Bally's Atlantic City.
Former junior-welterwight champ Kendall Holt did not fare as well. With his close friend Brandon Jacobs of the New York Giants looking on, Holt lost his bid to get back into title contention with a sixth-round knockout loss to Kaizer Mabuza.
Jones (20-0, 16 KOs) retained his regional belt, which brings with it a top-10 rating in the WBA. He is ranked eighth by the organization and 11th by the IBF.
Bruseles, who had not lost in five years, kept the fight close early, but Jones dominated down the stretch behind a sharp jab and crisp right hands.
Judges Luis Rivera (97-92), Alan Rubenstein (98-92) and Walast Roldan (98-92) all had Jones winning comfortably, as did the Associated Press (98-92).
"This fight was real important," Jones said. "I'm not disappointed at all (about going the distance). I like going 10 rounds against better competition. He's a veteran."
Mabuza (23-6-3, 13 KOs) became the mandatory challenger for the winner of next Saturday's junior-welterweight unification fight between IBF titleholder Juan Urango and WBC title-holder Devon Alexander at Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, Conn.
Mabuza dominated Holt (25-4, 13 KOs), the former WBO champion, using an aggressive style to batter him with body shots and uppercuts.
"I could tell right away that I was too strong for him," Mabuza said. "I could see that he didn't like getting hit to the body and that my uppercuts were hurting him."
After the sixth round, referee Lindsey Page stopped the scheduled 12-round fight on the advice of Holt's trainer, Aroz Gist. Holt and Gist were not available for comment afterward.
"I thought Kendall won the first round, but after that, it was the fastest downhill (slide) in the ring that I've ever seen," said Carl Moretti of promoter Top Rank. "After a while, it was like (Holt) was a heavy bag and he could hit him whenever he wanted.
"I know 20 junior-welterweights that could beat (Holt) right now."
This is what i have been saying about a lot of fighters at 140, in regards to who Khan should fight next. Holt was on a few peoples lists and i questioned what he'd actually done to warrant being a more legitimate opponent than Marquez or Malignaggi. This answers the question. It won't be long until Maidana loses to some unknown.

Kendall has been off for about a year off a loss and been through a lot of personal stuff outside the ring he wasn't ready for an opponent like that it seems.

I think it's clear to see for everyone that Khan is ducking Kaizer Mabuza
I think it's obvious Floyd only made the Mosley fight so he didn't have to get in the ring with 'The Kaizer'. And people say Pac was quick to make a fight with Clottey to avoid Floyd, when in fact he just wanted to avoid the 'Monstor' Mabuza.
As for hypothetical fights, I think Kaizer beats Robinson, Leonard & Hearns on the same night. He's just that good.
