    Damn exciting fighter to watch, what happened to this guy? Fight with Cotto was epic.

    Yeah I figured, but why so young? He'd be a great addition to the WW division right now.

    It was definitely a headbutt that put him down against Holt, otherwise he'd have walked through him. And as you can see, he really shook up Cotto and could have quite feasibly won. Damn shame if he doesnt come back sometime soon.

    Gotta feel for Torres getting knocked out by a headbutt flush on the chin, dont think it was intentional but the guy should only have 1 loss on his record really.

    yeah it's a shame, he took the Cotto fight on late notice as a stand in too.

    Honestly I think he was punch drunk after that devastating Holt unintentional Butt. I dont think he was ever the same afterwards. Anyways as it was mentioned already he would have been a force @ 140 and 147 if he were still fighting.
