Why the heck would you put spoiler on this thread if you gave away the news in the start of the thread in the actual title.

Old guard getting too old

[Spicoli]

Legit headbutt,,,,,,hindsight is 20/20 and that was clean Fubar moment....that follow right was brutal though

Charles is hitting the bong..."FOTY"..?.come on racoon...3rd fight should happen with out a doubt

Could be knock out of the year

Maybe turn around of a fight but clean KO of year will get lost in Headbutt asterisk ? That pin point right finished it but The head started it...

[mexirican]

What a great display of recovery head butt knockout

[bcollins]

I hate getting in late sometimes...

[CountryBoy]

Did anyone else notice that: When Holt was in big trouble on the ropes after the 2nd knockdown he bounced off head butting Torres leading to the knockout.


Bad luck for Torres.

Danny is watching a feed that is coming from Setanta, and he said they showed an angle that shows Holt's head hitting Torres right square in the jaw, just before the punch that landed, and that is what might have really hurt him.

I saw the same feed....


There's no doubt that a clash of heads was involved, but it was Torres that brought his jaw up into Holt's head. Total accident, but if anybody is to blame for the butt, it's Torres.

Yep the poor guy ran straight into it. Man it was round one, he had the guy hurt he didn't need to do that. It's like a rookie mistake.

few things, firstly payback is a bitch Holt deserved a seakey one after the first fight, second boy they are wildly entertaining and thridly they are both very limited fighters and i think we can conculde Cotto was very weight drained at 140lbs.

Suprised were talking about the fight ans not Nady

[ICB]

So my boy Torres would have stopped Holt had he not been headbutted ?? so i think that about even's it up in my eyes both guys have been unlucky so lets bring on the trilogy to settle the score.

I just watched the fight it wasn't Holt's fault but the headbutt was IMO the KO blow more so than the right hand.

[Pugilistic]

the headbutt wasn't intentional, It did hurt him though.

[Fenster]

Crazy round.

That butt was a beauty. Not for Torres though

[GAME]

They should never have let Nady be incharge of a fight that was controversial the last time. He should have jumped in after the headbutt but allowed Holt to land the finishing blow. Yet again a good fight ruined by a incompetant ref.

They are 1-1 in controversial wins now so there must be a decider.

Torres got very unlucky, but has to shoulder some of the blame for the outcome. If he had kept calm after the second knockdown instead of charging in he could have finished him within the round.

In all fairness, the headbutt happened in the middle of a flurry on the side away from Nady. I can see where that one would have been hard to catch without replay.

I still don't like Nady, either, but that wasn't as bad as the Cortez fiasco.

I'd love to see the trilogy. I doubt it could be anything except controversial.

Yeh definately. It stunned him big time. The KO punch wouldn't have had a chance to land without the headbutt.

It wasn't anybody's fault. There is a definate need for a 3rd match.

Not sure what angle the US viewers got on the headbutt, but Setanta's feed shows quite conclusively that the headbutt played a major role in the KO.
