To be fair he was pretty damn even handed with Witter; much more respectful than I thought he would be.
Nah, it wasn't intentional. Accidental headbutt and he was beating Nate up. I think Nate was expecting a NC so just quit.
Whether or not Bradley intended to headbutt has zero to do with anything. If a headbutt leads to a cut stoppage, it's a no contest. BTW, I think Bradley's style does lend itself to butts, but I don't blame him for that. Hatton had the same sort of rough-and-tumble, muscular style. Bradley is in great shape and uses his physicality to compensate for his lack of power. No problem with that. The problem is bad officiating. That's just ****ed.
Dude, from the perspective that "it's a fight" he needs to do whatever to win. However, TIM BRADLEY CONSISTENLY LUNGES IN HEAD FIRST. Referees aren't doing his job. He basically has headbutted his way up the rankings - won a championship and they have not penalized him. He has skills, he doesn't need to fight like that. Today we realized that no matter how much you thank God, you can be a dishonest person.
I don't no if it's intentional, but ****er does it a lot. There's a point where even unintentional head-butts need point deductions, just because they don't do it on purpose doesn't mean that it's not their ****ing fault. Those head-butts were Bradley's fault. End of ****ing Story.
That my friend is the voice of reason. Both examples: Bradley and Hatton needed to be schooled by the referees.
True. I honestly don't think tonights was anything to do with Bradley though, just pure bad luck as it happens in boxing. Bradley was genuinely trying to get his body into a left hook to gain power and their heads actually met each other.
Should definitely be a no contest....but still....I think he was gonna ACTUALLY get TKOed if the fight kept goin the way it was
Campbell QUIT!!! He thought he could get away with a NC, but it backfired on him. He was getting outgunned and he QUIT.. The cut was caused by a headbutt, no doubt about it. But he was looking for a way out. Many other fighters would have fought through the cut and still pressed forward, Nate Campbell Quit and he is bitching about the decision, I think he needs to fight Witter next and see if we can get at least 6 rounds out of both of them:bbb
You are partially right. YES - Campbell wanted to quit (he was on the way of being tko'd) BUT - the rules are the rules. This was an unintentional headbutt by somebody that headbutts all the time (how ironic).
