    Regardless of whether you thought it was an early stoppage or not --- this fight warrants a rematch...

    One thing I think we all can agree on is that this was a highly contested bout filled with emotion and great energy....I think that the sanctioning bodies and the powers that be should mandate a rematch to clear up the controversy...

    this time let it be in a more neutral ground where we can actually watch the fight without sifting through obscure websites.

    I think Holt would win the hypothetical rematch.

    re-posted from another thread:

    After analysing the video (and spoke to others who already saw it) I must say that K. Holt is a what you would call a *****.

    The things his management claims like cans to have flown in the ring and his leg had been stranded are not true. Ok, some ice and kinda powder were thrown but no bigger or threatening items.

    Holt was plain hurt the whole 11th round after Torres hit him with the left hook. He was simply trashed and ONLY show signs to fight AFTER the ref stopped the fight. The fight was very close till round 10, nobody really dominated.

    This fight wasn't a robbery...

    Fair enough - even if what you say is true ---- you don't think that a re-match is warranted?

    Holt was dominating the fight up until the 10th round...and had Torres seriously hurt with that big knockdown ---- Torres fought back valiantly and hurt Holt w/ that huge left hook which led to the 11th round controversy...

    all ridiculousness aside (soda, slippery ring, poor stoppage, bitching from Holt's corner) this doesn't warrant a rematch to you?

    No, Holt catched Torres in the 6 and was credited with a knockdown...

    It's not uncommon for things like this to happen in other countries, if kendall says that happened it happened. There should be a rematch, because he's clearly the better fighter.

    He didn't show that he's the better fighter in this very bout.

    They did'nt really want to go there to fight anyways. Torres people promoted it and some of the judges were Torres's people go figure.

    Why did'nt he? He was clearly ahead on the cards. How could you even call him a ***** under those conditions?

    The fight wasn't that good, both didn't do much till round 6. Than Holt catched Torres and controlled the next to rounds. In round 8 Torres came back and took the momentum chasing Holt around the ring, finally catching him with that hook in round 11. As described in the post at the start of this thread, Holt was hurt fom that moment on just running away (and because of the damp canvas slipped at doing so).
    The fight was close up to this moment, but I don't mind seeing a rematch - there was not that much of action...the fight was rather boring.

    I could have sworn Torres dropped Holt early in the fight and then Holt dropped Torres twice all this before the 11th.
