Have you seen Valero-Mosquera?
Do you remember what the crowd was like for that?
On par with Holt-Torres there were even people who got past security and were yelling at Valero from the ringside.
Valero still went on to win.

How about Eubanks-Rocchigiani do you remember the crowd for that?
And that was just for the walk ins...
I think i've seen Valero vs Mosquera was that the fight where Valero got knocked down ? can't remember Eubank vs Rocchigiana, but as i said Mick i believe the crowd did effect the concentration of Holt. Imagine your boxer and you got the crowd throwing beer cans at you ? thats got to have a serious effect mentality wise. Maybe it wouldn't have made of difference i don't know all i do know is that both fights were controversial, and whoever wins the 3rd meeting should settle the score.
Well of course crwods come into play.
Why else are they there...

Crowds chant, cheer, sing, beat drums, throw paper airplanes, fire works.

Holt made it seem like it was something out of this world or something unseen before. All it was, was a rowdy crowd something that's been seen before.
Well its probably one of the worst crowd's i've ever seen in a championship fight, i know all about rowdy crowds but this was totally different. How many fights have you seen where one fighter knocks the other fighter down, then gets beer cans thrown at him ? and infact one did hit him. I don't care who you are that would effect anyone badly mentally just think what would of happened had he won ? as i said it may or may not of made any difference but it certainly didn't help did it ?
