Showtime July 5th: Torres vs. Holt II, Planet Hollywood Las Vegas

Tis on Boxing Scene's website.

Main event. I'm surprised Torres went for this again.

Nice...

I think Torres took it cause he feels the need to redeem himself.
I think it makes the fight much more interesting.

Both guys know they can knock the other one out...if Holt doesn't run as much as he did in the first fight this may indeed be a very interesting fight...
The knockout by Torres was regular though...no need to redeem himself there...

Torres is a firecracker of a fighter, but I've always held issues with his stamina. Thats what set himself and Miguel Cotto apart.

Holt is a likeable young prospect, I think a win for him would be very good for the division.

This is torres chance to show the first fight wasn't a fluke or rigged or whatever. The first fight outside of the action was riddiculous i'm sure some of the claims by holts camp were exaggerated a bit but that shit still left doubt as to what was the correct outcome so torres wants to show that.

Yes...Holt can be happy that it went as it did...if Holt would have won by KO(I doubt he would ever have gotten decision...even if he knocked Torres every rnd down...)his life would have been in danger and I really believe that...

Holt wins this rematch IMO. He should have won by dq in the 1st! I think Torres finds it extremely hard this time to land anything clean. Holt by very wide UD for me!

My respect to Torres.

Yeah I give respect to Torres for granting this rematch. He had to really though, if the 1st fight was held anywhere else he would have lose by dq for the outside interference!
