I’d forgotten this, one of the most insane one rounders you’ll ever see. Almost exactly 16 years ago

ya crazy fight, torres getting out on his feet and set up for the ko by a head clash was disappointing though

their first fight , in columbia , was wild too. there were some shenanigans in torres favour that time, like his corner men grabbing at holt's feet, with nothing being done about it. i guess the rematch was sort of karma in a way

funnily enough holt didnt have a high ko percentage but when he stopped guys it was often brutal. torrez was crude but could really whack. he had young miguel cotto in all sorts of bother too before being stopped. a bit like a smaller ricardo mayorga

Yes I think I read Holt was hit by a flying beer can after he dropped Torres in the 1st fight…

The Cotto Torres fight was a FOTY contender I recall.

Someone just posted this on twitter as well.

He was out !!

Remember watching this on setanta, insane, Torres was in a few humdingers, the Cotto fight was mental as well

Pretty eventful in terms of knockdowns and momentum change. But less than 1% as violent as Julian Jackson - Gerald McClellan 2.

Phenomenal fight

Real blast from the past!

Was mental watching this one. Ruined somewhat by the alternative angles that showed the KO was an unintentional headbutt.

The references to other notable fights, like Torres vs. Cotto, further enrich the context and showcase the fighters' legacies in the boxing worldtemple run 2
