Ricardo Torres vs Kendall Holt II Boxing Quick Hitter

Tony T here with our “Rockstar” quick hitter for Saturday’s action. On Showtime on Saturday night a fight in the Junior Welterweight division as Ricardo Torres behind a solid 32-1 record and 28 KO’s will face Kendall Holt who’s career record is 23-2. The American Fighter Holt is the –260 favorite with the Columbian Torres returning +200 as the underdog. This is a rematch of their fight last fall when Torres stopped Holt in the 11th round in Ricardo’s native Columbia. Many thought the stopping was premature but Holt was a bit wobbly and fell behind on the scorecards after being knocked to the ground by a Torres left hook. Torres only loss was to Puerto Rican star Miguel Cotto. In that fight Torres sent Cotto to the mat in the third round. On Holt’s resume are losses to David Diaz and Thomas Davis. Davis a journeyman fighter sits with a record of 12-7. Davis lacks aggressiveness at times and Torres could steal rounds in this one should it go to the scorecards. Torres’ aggressive style and his KO success make him the play here at +200.
