do you think Frotch is a better at head butting the Ward?

    I read that Frotch said he will headbutt Ward back if things start going that way and he said it will ruin the fight because he played foot ball.

    Neah, looks like Ward perfected his technique in flying headbutts. Don't think I have seen Froch headbutt. Too tall to get away with it and he doesn't lean down like Ward to pull off a flying headbutt.

    He is talking about English foot ball or soccer you might call it. They can only use their feet and head to hit the ball around the field. You may not know it but good soccer players are very good at head butting because they practice it all the time, hitting a moving target with force. Frotch said if Ward butts him he will butt him back and it will ruin the fight.

    I know football as I have both played football and managed a senior team. I have also practiced martial arts and boxing and you sure as hell don't improve your head butting skills by playing football. You don't turn into Bruce Lee by playing football either :D

    Ps. Froch is epic.

    Agreed.

    Ward has some slick headbutting skill, especially since he is able to get his whole bodyweight behind the momentum.

    The Kessler fight lacks comparasion in the sport of boxing. I have never seen any fight where headbutts were used with such great impact.

    Headbutts happen as a result of Ward's style, it would be difficult to rule them as intentional. If Froch on the other hand tries to retaliate then it will probably look blatant and he'll get penalized, then I'll laugh.

    this. Ward's butts occur due to his desire to close the distance. They are not "intentional".

    intentional headbutts look like this:
