Kendall Holt vs Julio Diaz set for May 13th on FNF

Not sure how much either guy has left. Might be fun though.

i think holt has a LOT more left than diaz and he hits HARD this is going to be one ugly ko.

bump

This should be a good one, two desperate guys going at it. Shame it's not next week at The Rock instead Joel Julio vs. some homeless guy.

Julio should be calling for a rematch with Kirkland right now

Holt starts strong with right hands. He does shoulder roll then right hand over Diaz jab, just like Teddy said in fight plan.

no he shouldn't!!! You do realize Julio is moving back down to 147 where his punching power was more impressive.

head butt and accidental cut. Diaz's corner has some work to do.

Holt's feet are quicker than Diaz. If he makes Diaz miss and steps to the right and throws right hands, he can land cleanly all night.

HOlt doing too much loading up on the right hand. He needs to jab more, and not just look to counter with the right hand.

Teddy comes out and says Holt shouldn't wait for counters, he needs to use the jab more. Pick it up teddy I posted that 5 mins ago.

huge left hook by kendall holt. The man can still punch. Ref stops it.

Holt needs to capitalize on the momentum he just created. Get his ass a fight against someone in the next 3 months. He still has the physical abilities he displayed when he was a top 5 ranked guy.

That four rounder was a lot of fun.

Diaz got iced. For perspective, Bradley got up from that shot and shook it off, too bad he chickened out of Khan fight

Bradley was down multiple times. EArly and late if I recall. In between he was too much for Holt. Wish Bradley would reconsider and take the Khan fight.

Ortiz is very engaging.

Coming up Teddy Atlas is going to rip apart Kelly Pavlik.

okay I was wrong. Teddy thought he looked good. Notes the counter left hook and head movement which Teddy felt those were improvements.

Holt's still dangerous in that division.

Still kinda seemed to me that Holt was trying to one punch Diaz instead of working him over. I'm hoping he stays in training & gets another shot.

It was a great finish though. Solid FNF main event.
