PHILLIP Holiday lost a points decision to Thomas Damgaard for the IBC Welterweight world title in Denmark on Friday. Although the former IBF lightweight world champion lost this one, he gave the Swede the fight of his life, cutting him above both eyes and breaking his right eardrum. Most pundits thought that Holiday would be battered by his taller opponent, but he put up a brave showing and proved he still has a lot of fight left in him.
