    There's an old Andrade interview where he talks about how he used to block with his gloves but didn't like his arms going numb, so he absorbs and tries to roll with them instead to keep his hands free. Wish I could find it - will try again later.

    See that overhand right? That's pretty much going to be the tale of this fight.

    If Holt stays away from the overhand right, He'll win. If he gets caught, it's not good.

    I expect to a snorefest but I love Kendall Holt. Everytime he's on the camera outside the ring, I'm pissing myself.

    "The only belt Bradley will be wearing after the fight will be the one holding his pants up"

    After Holt vs Torres 2 after the commentator says something like, "Should we look at the round blow by blow"

    Holt: "Well we can't do it round by round".

    Love it!

    I tend to agree. Bradley has some sneaky power that he really doesn't get enough credit for.

    Kendall Holt looks a little bit like Montel Griffin. Then again I may be drunk.

    Kendall's the get up off the floor type, Zak. Chin checking needs to factor in punch resistance AND recovery. His former is **** poor - his latter is elite, maybe HOF-worthy.
