    An intriguing rematch coming up, taking into account what took place in the first fight.

    Who do you think wins this one?

    I think Holt can pull out a medium-to-wide UD.



    btw KO for Torres via beer tin is not an option:nono

    Picking Torres by TKO, though a UD for Holt won't surprise me.

    Holt comes out strong and finishes him early

    Complete toss up of a fight, it all depends on who's over confident and who is prepared for war. Holt obviously has the better schooling of the game and all the talent in the world though his focus can be twarted and his chin unwilling to accept punishment. Torres on the other hand has natural power and pretty quick hands he can change a fight at a moments notice and seems to keep his opposition thinking more than reacting. Makes for an unpredictable cracking fight.....another Hennessy/poker/pizzaburger night for me.

    I'm going with Torres by decision ... i'm sure that Holt would prove that he doesn't have a good chin and that he's affraid of Torres' power --

    I picture this happening too. People seem to forget Holt hurt Torres in their first fight.

    Haha, well I was just assuming because A lot of people are picking Torres by TKO, but Holt has the ability to hurt Torres as well.

    He's got the ability and he's angry, because he feels he was cheated in the first fight.

    But, then again Torres may have more confidence this time, as he knows he can KO Holt.

    I picked Torres by stoppage last time, but this time I'm going with Holt by stoppage. Holt is going to be more comfortable this time with Torres' style and the atmosphere. Catching Torres with something big should not be too difficult. He needs to fight a safe fight, timing Torres with big shots when there are good openings, but not lowering his punch output so much that he gives Torres too much confidence. IMO, Holt will hurt him around the mid rounds and finish him this time.

    I have Holt by UD. I can see a few knockdowns happening for both fighters, but Holt wins enough rounds.

    Vice versa for me. I'm picking Holt by UD, but not ruling out a Torres stoppage. Holt was outboxing Torres with relative ease for most of their first fight. If he doesn't fade late, I think he'll pull it out.
