    Just as they did with Abraham-Miranda I, Showtime is going to air Torres-Holt I, and II, prior to their rubber match.

    I give them a lot of credit for doing it, it's much appreciated.:bears:

    Very nice.
    I never did watch #1 and it will be good to see it w/English commentary.

    I thought Holt had a higher ko percentage than that.

    torres rules!!!! can he win the rubber match? i think it's safe to say that both have chin deficiencies.

    I don't know if Torres has chin issues. He took some bombs from both Cotto and Holt (Who can crack). His KO loss in the second fight was more due to the headbutt.

    Great news by showtime, although nobody outside of hardcore fans like us will care/watch.

    I'm just glad that we're able to see it in good quality.

    I can't see how Torres' (in)ability to take a punch is even up for debate. Amidst his otherwise shitty resume, he's been dropped by the small handful of fighters who actually hit back.

    agREED with the rest of your post.

    It's one thing to drop him. Putting him away is the hard part.

    True enough. Of course, when guys like Arnaoutis give him dap the moment he rises from the canvas, it makes it that much more difficult to finish what you started.

    Arnaoutis drops him nicely, has him hurt, and then suddenly HE became the scared fighter.
