Even if it's an accidental foul (low blow, headbutt), you owe it to yourself as a fighter to go after an opponent if the ref doesn't do his job. It's not Demarco's duty to police the ring, if the ref is going to take a nap on the job, you're going to take advantage and apologize later.
It was on purpose. Watch the replay; the instant he threw the shot he realised it was too ample; he actually made a roundhouse with his elbow, and when the elbow strikes Valero you can see the forearm doing a backhand motion towards Valero. Dirty ****er.
i have watched the replay, along with everyone else here when they showed it live on tv. you are the only one who think that he did it on purpose. i actually dont think you even really believe it and are probably just trying to stir up some ****
Watch better; the forearm backhand motion towards Valero proves my point; how can you make a backhand motion with your forearm accidentally ?
You need to watch the reply with your glasses on. Have you noticed you are the only one claiming he did it on purpose? Demarco is a clean fighter and a good sport.
It looked accidental; you can make too headbutts look accidental. Keep an eye on Demarcos future fights; his elbows might play an important role.
thats why they say "defend yourselves at all times" and try going 9 rounds taking monsterous shots from a champ with 100% ko rating.
