    Shut up, Mabel.

    But really....poor Israel can't win with Karl.

    If he's not pulling a quit job because of his nose; he's the recipient of one of the most terrible, incompetent stoppages in history.

    I'm starting to think brother Karl may be Nacho.

    "Grandstanding" describes the actions of the ref perfectly!

    Bad stoppage, but, Holt really fought like a bitch in that round, on my card, with the kd, I would gave Torres a 10-7 round, Holt ran the whole round.

    Holt should take it like a man, take it like Darko took Serbia´s OT loss to Greece:


    "I'm gonna kill the referees wherever I find the. They can go f*ck themselves. If they have a daughter, I will f*ck her whatever she has, I'm gonna f*ck their mother, their mouth from the front and behind".

    Bad stoppage...I've seen worse, but it was a real bad one.

    This goes against what I've always said, but I just don't care. I'd rather see Torres than Holt any day of the week. At least Torres wants to fight.

    One thing that bothers me though was that Holt actually threw a punch right about when the ref stopped the fight.
    Kendall was obviously fabricating some things to make it seem the experience to fight elsewhere was more bad than it actually was, but for a guy who can punch, to see him stink it out like that in the 11th is :doh:

    The punch was half-assed, though. The sad part is, anyone looking to side with him points to that ONE punch and insists that he was fighting back at the time of the stoppage.

    What gets me, though, is his claim that he was going to not only survive the round, but turn the tide and then win the 12th and eventually the fight. I'm not sure he threw more than 10 punches in the entire round (11th) - he had no intentions of punching well before the knockdown, and for damn sure after his ass got shook.

    If nothing else, he and his team have at least clammed up a bit. What a coincidence that they talk a little less now that the fight is available for the viewing public. But their plan worked to some degree; they got a shitload of the media to side with them, many of whom hadn't even seen so much as the highlight reel.

    Holt looked like he had no energy left, then after getting brutalized and stopped, all of a sudden he has all this energy to complain and throw his arms around all disappointed. Getting pissed at the ref :lol:

    That's why Fightbeat published the video. So everyone can make up their own mind.

    Again, I really don't agree with the stoppage and would've rather seen a more conclusive ending. But the assertation that Holt was fighting back at the time of the stoppage is a ridiculous one. The punch he threw at the end of the fight was the ONLY one he threw from the knockdown on to that point.

    I do want to correct myself from earlier, though. I questioned whether or not he threw 10 punches in the entire round. He actually threw 14, including that gem of a shot at the time of the stoppage. The sad part is he seemed to hurt Torres anytime he planted his feet and landed.
