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

i agree that it was a bad (and greedy) management decision for holt to go to colombia; but to state that you haven't seen the fight, and claim that you know is was a robbery in the same sentence is just plain ******ed

 

El Bombasto: ok my statement might have been a little extreme. But it maybe because before the fight happened I just had a bad feeling about it from the getgo. I know how those fans act down there and how corruption is. Just seemed crazy that they would have let the fight continue with bottles and cans going into the ring and hitting cornermen. No wonder they didnt televise it lol! If the video ever comes out of the fight trust me, youll see why i said "i didnt even have to see the fight to know it was a robbery'. That place is like another world over there.

 

if anyone has that video please post a link or put it on youtube. I tried contacting my family down there to see if they recorded it but most of them arent really boxing fans. Soccer rules over there.

 

The only thing shaky is Holt's chin. Torres got in that ass like a wedgie. :yep

 

What a BLACK EYE for Colombia:-( :-( :-(


Sounds like a bunch of BULL****!!!!!


I want to see video before i judge the whole thing but if that report is accurate??? The WBO should order a rematch STATESIDE or strip Torres of his belt if he refuses or backs out citing money. They could have the same split, IMO 75/25 is ridiculous for any fighter but so be it:good

 

Bingo. About the only surprise in this fight is he lasted as long as he did with those fragile whiskers. :nod

 

Colombia is a kickass country!

Though as others have said when it comes to sport ppl go loco. And the judge who had torres up was from his home town....probably his uncle or something! :deal

course ill have to see the stoppage before deciding whether i think it was a legit tko or not...

 

goldenboy: yuo are right about one thing colombia is definetly a kick ass country. They party over there like it is the last day of the world. every weekend.

 

Why order a rematch...it never went to the cards...Holt got stopped.:happy

 

Some people just can't admit that their fighter lost.

 

The stoppage was RIDICULOUS!! It wasnt as if Holt failed to beat the count, wasnt coherent, couldnt maintain balance, and he was still throwing. Perhaps's Torres would have finished him, but the ref should allow the action to happen.

I didnt bet this fight and could honestly care who wins as long as it's a straight result. Right is Right:good

The crowd's behaviour was terrible and the ref did a very poor job in the stoppage and waiving off a knockdown.

 

Nothing shaky about it. Holt was getting his ass kicked in round 10. And was dropped with a wicked left hook that almost sent him flying through the ropes and outside the ring. Its not like Torres just threw 5 punches and the ref stopped it. This was a 2-round ass kicking.

 

Gee, sure seemed like Holt knocked down Torres TWICE in the fight, and one was discounted.

That ending sequence wasnt one that called for that stoppage there:nono

If Torres was so in charge, it would have been the same. Its not the ref's job to make the ASSUMPTION. It's his job to make sure it plays out in a fair manner. HE FAILED MISERABLY ON THAT NIGHT:yep

 

The first round was a clear slip. The replay from the top proves it. And credit to Torres. I thought he was about to be stopped after both Anaortious and Holt knocked him down. He came back like a true chammpion.

And it wasnt just the final 5 punch flurry that ended the fight. It was the accumilation of punches Holt was taking in rounds 10 and 11.

Thats like only watching the final sequence of Cotto/Judah(after the knockdown) and thinking the ref is an idiot for stopping the fight.
