    Welterweight Kendall Holt scored an emphatic first-round knockout of Lenin Arroyo in his first fight nearly a year Saturday night at the Silverdome.

    The bout was on the undercard of the junior welterweight title unification fight between Devon Alexander and Timothy Bradley Jr.

    "It feels good to be back and shake off some rust, but it's still a long road back to getting that world championship belt back," said Holt, a former junior welterweight titlist.

    Holt, from Paterson, N.J., who lost his belt to Bradley in an April 2009 unification fight, ended a two-fight losing streak. After he lost to Bradley, he faced South Africa's Kaizer Mabuza in a title elimination bout in February 2010. In a major upset, Mabuza stopped him in the sixth round. Holt hadn't fought since.
