I Knew It...shaky Business In Columbia In The Holt Fight...!!!! Read This....

every boxer that gets stopped always claims that they were not hurt prior to the stoppage

 

i think it says Holt was leading on two cards.

 

you sound pretty upset, how much did you lose?

 

most of those were pretty close fights imo. i'm guessing you don't like taylor?

 

I'll reserve judgement until I actually see what happened. I recall Holt and his camp saying the Davis stoppage was premature as well. But I also recall how rowdy the crowd was during Valero-Mosquera, throwing bottles and cans into the ring. I'm sure fighting in an atmosphere that hostile can be difficult.

 

1. Could have gone 7-5 either way
2. Did Hopkins throw a punch prior to R8?
3. Yes
4. Quartey won 9 rounds on mind - outragous
5. Closish
6. Yes sort of, Spinks outboxed him for me but if the judges didn't score Spinks featherdusters I don't hold that against them

 

If they really did start throwing stuff into the ring, then something fishy may have happened.....

 

I lived in colombia for 5 months one time, my mother and father were both born there (my mom is from Barrenquilla my dad from Medellin). Anyways, my mom's hometown is Barrenquilla and that is where i spent the majority of the time in. I was there for about 4 out of the 5 months. Let me be the first to say that the country is beatiful but there are parts that are as 3rd world as it can get. And the people there when it comes to sporting events are ****ING CRAZY. If you stand up at a soccer game to get a drink or go to the bathroom during the middle of the game, people WILL throw bottles, rocks, etc.. at you to get out of the way. Referees get attacked all the time for making calls against the home team. You better believe holt got robbed and I dont even have to see the video to know that. I lived there. Corruption is not even the word that begins to describe that place. If you have money, you can literally kill someone right in front of the police and pay them off to get away with it.

 

oh and btw, I am a huge fan of both holt and torres and i am glad they both got out of there safe.

 

real intelligent

 

oyoy: I am not holt's manager ROFL. I know it is hard to understand what i am talking about if you live in the states your whole life or some developed country, but trust me I really believe Holt got robbed and I love both fighters and think they both will make some noise regardless of this outcome. But for a $45,000 purse i dont think this was the right move for Holt at all. He prolly could have fought at AC against someone and made twice that. Less risk more reward. For fighting against Torres this could have been a fight made on showtime or HBO all day. I dont really know what Holt's promotoers were thinking honestly.

 

psykoerik1: yep I remeber watching that game here and I was pissed! I wanted Colombia to beat the US so bad that world cup. The players name was Escobar (forget his first name). People there really put there emotions into sports, thats why riots happen all the time there.
