    i haven't seen the fight yet, there are some people saying the body shot ko'd him, some the headbutt and also some say it was a punch.

    so which was it?

    what made torres unconscious?

    the body shot? (impossible)

    the headbutt?

    or the punch?

    I've only seen it on youtube and it's a bit quick and blurry, but I think it was the right hand that KO'd him. Not the headbutt imo, it dazed him but he wasn't unconscious from it.

    The headbutt did most of the damage, I just rewatched it. It completely knocked him back, and he dropped his hands and Holt got some free shots.

    Either way Torres should have won, he just got too wild looking for the finish.

    torres had holt down twice and was looking to finish. an accidental clash of heads while trading buzzed torres, and caused him to stagger back (while trading, holt landed a left hook to the body, but imo the headbutt did more damage). holt then hit him with 2 flush winded up right hands that knocked torres out. holt deserves full vredit for the win, but he got lucky imo. we need a rubber match for closure.

    The headbutt is what put Torres in position for Holt to land the point blank bomb.

    Those things can happen in the quick heat of battle.

    They need to have a 3rd fight.

    The headbutt did a lot of damage but it was the overhand right who knocked him out cold.

    The punch defiantely knocked him out but the head butt did stun him.

    I saw the slow montion replay on TV and the butt staggers Torres back and Torres's head actually goes underneath the top rope. Torres was stunned but he did have the werewithal to correct his balance, get his head back through the ropes and get his hands up to defend himself. However, this put him at a great disadvantage and he couldn't get his hands up quick enough and he got hit with a good left-right that KO'ed him.

    Really unfortunate for Torres but these things happen in competitive sports and Holt did good in capitalising on this bit of luck that came his way. However due to the circumstances in which his victory came i believe he needs to give Torres a rematch.

    Torres was on his way down (and was dazed) from the headbutt ... if you see the clip ... Torres was already going down once the right hand landed.

    Also if you pay close attnetion to the last part of the fight you would see Torres' head went back like he got punched real hard but it was the result of the butt.
