Yeah, I've liked Holt for a while, he's a very good fighter. If he had a better chin, he'd be my personal pick over anybody from 135-140 crop. He's a real threat to any of them as it stands anyway, big power, good speed and good boxing skills.
Holt wasn't hurt badly by Torres' shots, but they had him dazed anyway.
The headbutt definitely knocked Torres off balance, but how many times have you seen a headbutt put a guy on queer street? Not many, and that shot Holt landed was absolutey vicious, that showed some serious natural power from Holt.
What it also showed was Holt would take the big risks if he was in a bad spot. Have to respect that in a fighter always.
Definitely favour Holt over Malignaggi... Naggi lacks the power to do anything to him and Holt's a much better boxer.
