    I remember Torres taking Miguel Cotto to the limit in their barnstormer but think that had a lot to do with Cotto throwing caution to the wind. Holt has the skill and speed to outbox Torres but a chin and recuperation not as good as Cotto so this fight could go either way if Torres tags him. Any opinions?

    I think Torres will catch Holt and take him out, middle to late rounds.

    I think Holt will comfortably outbox Torres, but will get caught and have to come off the canvas to secure a close win.

    I would put money on Torres for at least a knockdown.

    I'm going Torres KO. Holt looks like he can be caught, and most dangerously he seems to not realize it yet.

    I agree, but I actually think Holt's speed, skillset, and power will end it by the 7th rd!! I think Holt is the most dangerous fighter at 140lbs!!

    holt needs a stoppage or wide margin decision to win this, given that the fight is in columbia, anything else will go to torres

    Holt has a lot of things on Torres. A)He can outbox torres all day. 2) Torres doesn't have as good speed or ring generalship as Holy and D)Holt can crack with both hands-

    Now, his chin is a little suspect, but Torres is too slow, I think, to land flush. Also, Torres doesn't have a "last chance" mentality. Mark my words- Holt will come with a focus the likes of which are rarely seen in boxing anymore.

    Not on American TV at least. Holt should win this fight EASY.
