Headbutt for me is a term that should be reserved for some of Marvin Hagler and Evander Holyfieldsmore unscrupulous work.

What usually occurs is a "clash of heads," where the fighters heads accidently collide and a cut results.

In the Bradley fight the heads knocked together without malice or intent, it just happened that Bradleys momentum saw Campbell come out second best.

Sorry for the silly thread, its just been irratating me.
You have a point. Butt should be reserved for intentional blows. I don't see that Hagler made a practice of it like Holy, but the first round of the second Antefuermo fight was probably the worst I've ever seen. Hagler just lowered his head and took a flying leap into the guy's face.
