Headbutts

[OumaFan]

Well, obviously this is influenced by the Holt-Torres fight which was the most obvious incident of a headbutt influencing a fight I've ever seen.

This isn't about fights where there were a lot of headbutts, I was just thinking of fights where head butts may have played a key role.

Looking back at Vernon Forrest-Shane Mosley I its hard to say for sure but it definitely seemed to me that the head butt in the second round seemed to affect Shane. Could be wrong but it wasn't long after that he got floored. Of course it was a couple of great punches by Vernon which dropped Shane, not the head butt, but it seemed to affect Shane IMO.

Joel Casamayor is the master of the head butt-straight left combination, just look at the first Chico fight.

There were a couple more I was thinking of but I can't seem to remember which fights they were right now.

Any other examples?

Yeah I first thought about the Mosley / Forrest 1 fight


The other was Barrera - Jones 1 . In round 5 Barrera got nutted and cut . It clearly bothered him, then seconds later like Shane he was on the floor and tasted defeat for the 1st time.

Tyson getting headbutted by Holyfield in round 2 of their 2nd fight was turning point

Holyfield Vs. Rahman........JK,Holy was breaking him down regardless prior to the 3rd arm growing on Rock's forhead

I remember Golota headbutting Riddick Bowe in there 2nd fight and the moron ended up cutting his own eye

If i remember rightly Tyson walked right into Holyfield's headbutt in there 1st fight, then shortly after got knocked down i think that effected Tyson somewhat.

Tyson against the drug cheat.

holyfeild headbutted his way up the boxing ranks, dont get me wrong he was a hell of a fighter and one of the greatest but he was a sneek with the headbutts

In both Tyson vs Holyfield fights, both fighters were coming in with their heads: Tyson just got the worse of it.
