Thread: HOLT SAYS THE STOPPAGE WAS BAD

http://www.fightnews.com/reyes80.htm

I'm slipping, he is throwing punches, I don't even feel getting f**king hit, but I'm slipping, I'm trying to push him off me as he is coming, you know, it was hard fighting him, fighting the people, fighting with stuff on the ground (bottles, debris on the canvas) I'm fighting…(he pauses, to reflect) you know what? Because I was winning. You know? The rules state that if people throw stuff in the ring, you got to stop, clean and break. Geno Rodriguez said it was more important, not to stop the action and you know at first he said that he didn't know there was stuff in the ring. First he said he didn't, then he said it wasn't important to stop the action!

It wasnt that bad, go look at the highlights i posted yesterday about half way down the first page and decide for yourself. Personally i have seen alot worst stoppages.

Holt reckons someone in the corner tried to pull his foot from Torres corner and is trying to get the decision overturned.

he isnt saying it was one of torres cornermen, he is saying a fan did it, but from torres corner, im gonna watch the fight in a few hours

I thought it was the beer that had been thrown that was the problem with his feet slipping !

I've seen a highlights clip from a spanish channel and it looked an action packed and eventful fight. Stoppage looked fine.
Can post-up the highlight link if that's ok? It's a long link.

I had no complaints with the stoppage. It seemed OK.

SAL THE BUTCHER IN UNNECCESSARY CAPS SHOCKER!!!!!!!!!!

But seriously...I reckon the stoppage wasn't that bad, and of course Holt is going to try his best to claim foul play, as many boxers do when they're beaten.

I thought the stoppage was premature and let's hope that if the things happened that he said happened, the WBO will take the appropriate action.

Haven't seen it yet, but I've read a decent number of excuses from Holt now from Holt and enough people say they thought it was a good stoppage to make me think his pride is just dented.

still aint seen this, is it on youtube yet? had alook a while back but cudnt find it, i know sometimes they are done in some other language?

The Holt knocked down was legit. Holt was clearly hurt. But the stoppage was pretty early. The verdict should not be over turned. But a rematch wouldn't be a bad idea

I have changed my mind heres the full 11th round in full

The stoppage was premature, he took some shots but was far from finished, should be a rematch.

That stoppage was BS. When Torres slipped the ref should have stopped the action for a second, and it looked like Torres got a few cheap shots in right after he got up. I know, I know protect yourself at all times, but come on. This was clearly a home town stoppage and I'm pretty sure Holt would have lasted the distance. Beer was getting thrown at the guy for Christ's sake. Holt isn't the most exciting fighter in the world, and in the beginning of the video I was hoping it was a good stoppage just for the fact that he had no intentions to engage down the stretch, but by the looks of this video he was screwed.

First I saw the highlights I said it was a bs stoppage but after watching that round Holt appear hurt thats right APPEAR hurt because after the stoppage I could see his reaction but no doubt in my mind he appear HURT.
