    He's the one making the accusation yet has shifted the burden of proof on his detractors - great rhetorics here. :-(

    Watched this fight more often than I can stomach it. As far as intentionality of the headbutt goes, the evidence can only be called inconclusive.

    Holt gets the benefit of the doubt.

    Accidental or not it sure helped turn the fight around.

    Accidental but damaging enough to change the course of the fight. I hope Holt doesn't pull a ***** move and doesn't give Torres the must needed rematch.

    Even though it wasn't intentional - it was obvious that the headbutt hurt Torres and helped Holt get the knockout ... because if you check it again - "Moncheulo" started to go down after the headbutt (he was dazed) and was finished off with the right hand on the way down.

    It was a freak occurrence. Holt was on his way to getting KTFO but the accidental headbutt saved his life.

    If it weren't for the clash of heads Holt was going to get knocked the **** out and he showed no class at the end of the fight.

    Oh I know...my impartiality....because the way I feel SOOOO doesnt match up to the majority. I am a lone wolf thinking that it was unintentional.

    :lol:

    Sorry bro, but I am a fan of Torres' (have been since the Cotto fight, when he took it on such short notice but was able to bring Cotto to HELL...PHENOMINAL FIGHT!!!). I actually thought he would win last night by TKO...but I was wrong. Just as you were. Only difference is, Im not blinded by my bias that I cant see what is obvious in the video.

    I was exposed....my god your dumb.

    WHAT???

    Bernard uses his head as a weapon...ONE!

    And if you think Holt and Hopkins fight alike, you should really start watching boxing. Cause I have no ****ing idea what you have been watching up to this point.

    lol, I don't really know what to compare this too. Are you saying an accidental headbutt can't cause damage like an intentional one? That's like saying an accidental gunshot wound causes less damage then an intentional one. It doesn't make sense.

    In any case boxing rules state it should be a NC.
