    Yep. No one discusses the potential long term injuries a headbutt like that can cause. Lunging up from a crouched position with the intent to ram your head into someone's nose may be the most dangerous foul you can commit in the sport aside from maybe loading your gloves

    Nice video. I don't remember Griffin winning when Jones was disqualified though? In my memory Jones was comfortably winning?

    Could be way off as it's over a decade since I watched this one and I was a young buck at the time it aired live.

    Yeah, the Mayweather KO's where fine. Still cheap though.

    That punch single-handily wiped out most of his fanbase, Teddy Atlas made sure it becomes remembered as such.

    Worse cases of Anti-Social behavior occurred in boxing history, but didn't get the documentation and dramatic commentary

    It has to be the POS who sucker punched me in Legends nightclub. To say I witnessed it would be an overstatement. First I knew about it was cupping my hand over my nose and seeing the blood fill it like I had a power shower fitting in my nose.

    Mayweather vs Ortiz was not a cheap shot, it was a mentally weak fighter looking for another avenue of exit because he knew he bit off WAY more than he could chew. Ortiz had been boxing since his pre-teen years. PROTECT YOURSELF AT ALL TIMES and KEEP YOUR HANDS UP are the first rules instilled in a fighters head from a young age. Either that or he's a ****ing idiot.

    Unquestionably Roid vs Montell. Roid's Jupiter-sized ego couldn't handle the fact that he was being thoroughly schooled, humiliated and exposed for the fraud we always knew he was by a fat leprechaun and that in addition to his roid rage lead him to crack a downed Montell not once but twice with hellacious roid bombs. Roid tried to argue in his defence that he was unaware that Montell who was 4ft tall at best when standing had taken a knee :risas3::facepalm:

    The James Butler one was egregious too but he didn't lash out with hate in his heart like Roid did.

    You do what you can to win, if not against the rules then all is fair, a fighter gotta be switched on every second of the bout.

    With regard to the Mayweather fights highlighted, Gatti was put to the canvas by this supposed cheapshot in first round, but arose quickly and did not seem that affected by it, the fight of course ended with Gatti sat on his stool prior to seventh round bell, after having been given a one sided boxing masterclass by Mayweather, so the cheapshot as others have called it had minimal impact on result.

    In the Mayweather vs Cortez incident, Cortez committed a blatant intentional foul with top of his head, you don't apologise seconds later to your opponent after doing that while being up close and personal with your guard down, firstly as it was totally intentional, and secondly your opponent will still rightly be ever so slightly angry with you, retribution will be their intent which Mayweather delivered quickly and fairly with the legal fight tools, his fists not his head.

    In my time in the squared circle i would hope to have be alert enough to have done precisely what Mayweather did in those situation, albeit not as well as him.
