    Was looking to be a great, though short fight, however it was obvious in the replays that Torres was KO'd by the head butt. Definetely wasn't intentional, but the butt definetely caused the KO.

    Without sounding rude......

    You could have simply responded to one of the three or so threads about this rather than create a new one.

    Furthermore, it was the right hand that knocked Torres out, not the clash of heads.

    The unintentional headbutt merely set up the punch that ended the fight.

    The body shot, the headbutt and the killer right happened simultaneously in just about 3 to 4 seconds. It's too fast.

    That can't be ruled an NC. WBO might order a rematch though.

    I'm afraid you're wrong about that.
    The head butt is what hurt Torres,.........it set everything else up.
    Not meaning to sound rude.

    Nah, I have no bias on this one, he was unconscious less than a second after their heads clashed, he was going down for good had no punches been thrown.

    Amusing but it appears as if you have misread my post. :roll:

    The right hand iced him did it not???

    The thread claimed the headbutt knocked Torres out, which it didn't. Also, I have never claimed the headbutt didn't hurt Torres. :yep

    He hit him with a hard bodyshot which made him fold over which then made them clash heads then a monster right hand with full swing on it hit him clean all in 3 secs cant call it a no contest
