If you missed it - here it is.....

Headbutt ruined that fight. Clearly the biggest factor.

 

yet there are people claiming it did not have any bearing on the outcome...........

nice:good although you should have included the headbutt reply. I can't see the headbutt from there, action was too fast. round of the year for me

 

I have watched several replays on my television and it CLEAR AS DAY that Torres was concussed by a serious headbutt and then hit with a huge right hand while still reeling from the headbutt. The unintentional headbutt really did ruin what was shaping up to be an all-time classic gunfight.

 

Goes down from the headbutt and is then hit with the right. The blow that put him down was the butt.

 

Damn what fight that was! And yes, it looked like Torres was initially hurt by a headbutt and then KOed in the end by a Holt right hand. Will those two ever end a fight without some form of controversy?

 

I am not that keen on trilogy's but this one needs it to settle it once and for all.

 

Concussed?

Do you have ANY idea how many tests have to be run to tell if a fighter or athlete for that matter is truely concussed?

Take (American) football for instance...ever notice how they do the eye test (with the flashlight) first and THEN take them to the trainers/team doctor's room for further tests to tell if it is a concussion or not? And you could tell from a replay with a questionable angle?

Cmon...

Hurt yes....concussed no way in holy hell to tell (tho that punch may have done it if the butt did not).

 

its a fight, headbutts happen.

 

The butt put Torres in the position to be hit by that right hand that Torres really had no chance to defend.

THe butt was the cause of the outcome. It clearly hurt Torres.

 

What I want to know, is was he (Holt) already cut...
or was that from his knockoutbutt.

 

Holt connected with the head when he was actually throwing, any accusation of deliberate foul play on Holt's part is damn right ludricous, and ******ed.

It was unfortunate for Torres, but he was beat and should live with it, remember it was Torres that threw a deliberate punch when Holt had been knocked down.
