How could the 'final' headbutt cause the cut to worsen when it wasn't anywhere near the cut? Green's right ear grazed against Beyer's right ear. Beyer's eye was opening up from round 2 onwards, it opened up in round 5 just like it had in the 3 previous rounds, because it was such a nasty cut.
Mate, it was more than just Green's ear grazing Beyers ear. I don't think anyone, including Green or Fenech is denying that it wasn't a headbutt. Beyer was bleeding from his cut, yes. But more blood immediately started to flow straight after the last headbutt. Surely you can see that this had some effect on the cut that was there already? The referee changing his decision from going to the cards, to DQ, and the fact that Beyer was about one more solid punch away from the fight being stopped has made it a difficult pill for many top swallow. If someone could post a clip of the final round, it would be appreciated.
Yeah I went looking for it on youtube but no luck. Seriously though, I've watched the 'final' headbutt plenty of times and the side of Green's head grinds against the side of Beyer's head - there is zero contact with the eye or even the eye or temple area.
Like I've said, watch the replay in slow mo and there is no contact with the eye, you're right IBM. I'm computer illiterate something shocking but I'll try putting it up.
