Official Rd by Rd Tonight - D.Hopkins vs Holt

those Torres fights really did something to Holt, he looks like an entertaining to fighter to watch now.

 

I like Holt, he's an intense little dude!

 

Hopkins lands two good jabs off the back foot to start fourth. On his bicycle for about 45 seconds, lands another double jab. They clinch. Holt winds up and unloads as Hopkins skims off the ropes, escapes unscathed. Hopkins keeping distance. Fifth jab lands, partially blocked, followed by a few hard 1-2s. Holt finally gets on the board with a double hook nearly two minutes in. Hopkins spins him around. Both miss lunging jabs, Holt still pressing forward and Hopkins still using the whole ring. Holt again lunges at Hopkins with a 1-2 which he slips, Holt ends up under his arm turned around again, ref splits up. Sloppy pawing combo from Hopkins at end, nothing really lands.

I don't know...Hopkins barely did anything. He landed seven jabs and two power punches. Holt landed two hooks that were more effective than any of them. Have to reluctantly give it to Hopkins.

39-37 Holt

 

39-37 Holt

 

Yep

 

4-0 Holt

Hopkins landed a clean right hand that should've knocked Holt out. Instead Holt eats it flush and smiles at Hopkins. It's one of those nights for lil Nard.

 

:deal

 

If hopkins makes it the whole 12, I'll be impressed!:yep

 

Hopkins showboating a bit like he thinks he's ahead, Holt all business in stalking him and keeping himself poised to attack no matter how elusive Hopkins tries to be. A lot of chasing, missing, and clinching this round. Had Holt landed a couple of punches it would have been his.

48-47 Holt

 

good defense by DHOP, but still being outworked

5rds to zero, HOLT

 

Isn't it odd and/or dissapointing that an unbeaten fighter can look like this when a real challenge comes up?

 

demetrius took this on 1 week's notice...

 

You've given Hopkins 2 rounds based on a few jabs and some Holt's misses. Trying to keep the fight close mate? :hey

 

This is actually the first time I've seen him fight. Very disappointing to be honest.

 

These guys have really picked up the intensity here. Holt is going for the kill but allowing Hopkins to take the initiative now. Holt looks very inept on the inside which isn't exactly a ringing endorsement when you fight a Hopkins.

4-2
