Baltimore, MD's Tim "Pitbull" Coleman has been stopped in the second round by former WBO Junior Welterweight champion Kendall "Rated R" Holt of Paterson, NJ in front of a nationally-televised performance at the Morongo Resort and Spa in Cabazon, CA.
Coleman was absolutely NEVER in this contest as he was dropped by a solid Holt bodyshot in the first round and was dropped three times in the second before the bout was stopped at 2:23 of the second by referee Ray Corona on the advice of the Coleman corner.
This is Coleman's second straight knockout loss and it drops his record to 19-3-1, five KO's. Holt's record is now 28-5, 16 KO's and he bounces back from his 12-round split decision to Danny Garcia in October.
A personal note: I talked to Tim Coleman earlier this week for a Fightnews.com article. It is known that Coleman is having some serious managerial issues. Coleman posted on his Facebook page that his camp missed the flight Coleman was on to get from Las Vegas to Cabazon for the weigh-in. Some of the issues Coleman is having are some I can't discuss here, but suffice it to say they are issues that are affecting his training and his boxing regimen. This is not the same Coleman that was a USBA champ and a top prospect from this area.
After the interview, I had a bad feeling about this bout tonight and unfortunately, my feelings were true.

believe this!
Anybody fighting Kendall holt you better have bad feelings about.
That guy is a brick layer for sure.
Tim needs to step back and reflect and really try to decide if he wants to do this. Everybody now will be going to his body hard.
Karma is a bitch and in most casees you dont know how its going come back to you, Tim is very agrogant and really hasnt made a splash besides with his mouth, he needs to go back to the basics, find that trainer that cared and truly helped him, but ive listen him talk salty about a few top level fighters saying they have no pop in sparring but 2 of those guys are world champs and he couldnt be lesser the competition Arogant: The Peterson deal about a year back you talk bad about him but train in his gym and spar with him not to say thats unheard of but thats karma work on you your game and be quiet, cause you trained in the areana of Floyd dont make you Floyd Mayweather that is
Gary you told me yesterday you had a bad feeling about this fight. You were correct. That was a bad showing for Coleman. He looked like he didn't want to be there.w
The first shot to the body was solid and Tim went down. Understandable. But the other knockdowns? More a result of frustration and lack of training. Tim is a good guy, has fought hard in the past, but his boxing reputation got hurt and will sting a whole lot more than Holt's punches did.
I think atrocious was the proper word. I felt bad for him last night
Tim said he wasn't in shape he took the fight because he needed the money
"His boxing reputation got hurt and will sting a whole lot more than Holt's punches did."
