Chavez Jr.-Gomez in April, Ricardo Torres could fight Victor Ortiz or Kendall Holt

Dan Rafael:

"HBO has bumped back the date for the welterweight bout between Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Alfonso Gomez from March 29 to April 26 because of other obligations. Chavez promoter Bob Arum said he was miffed by the move, but ultimately accepted it. Of course, for the fight to move forward, Chavez must defeat Ray Sanchez on Saturday night (Top Rank PPV, 9 ET). If that happens, Arum said he'll give Chavez one more fight in late January. Gomez won't take an interim bout because he's recovering from a hand injury suffered in his win against Ben Tackie last month.

Arum also said that if he can't convince junior welterweight titlist Ricardo Torres to defend against hot prospect Victor Ortiz on the undercard, he's open to making a rematch between Torres and Kendall Holt, whom Torres stopped in the 11th round of a controversial fight Sept. 1 in Torres' native Colombia."

 

I don't know Ortiz a lot but from what I've seen, I'd give him a pretty good chance to knock Torres out.

Torres-Holt 2 is a toss up.

I don't think Torres will remain unbeaten for a long time...

 

He isn't unbeaten now... but I agree, he's ready to lose again.

 

Yeah... I meant keep his championship belt... :doh:

 

I don't care to see a Torres-Holt rematch. Torres-Ortiz would be a lot more exciting.
