Good point there. Yes a vicious head butt can be worse then a punch and cause lasting balance problems. And sporadic migraines. An MRI would show significant damage . I thinks in this case it was just the over whelming size of Forrest that got Shane. Vernon had the right game plan for Shane (the style to neutralize Mosley's assets) IMO
If you see him fight today he is a shade of his former self. He defeated Vargas in his last fight but it was lackluster and far from a dominate performance, besides I think if the fight would not have been stopped Vargas would have won, he was coming on strong in the late rounds. Two shot fighters fighting on pride. But in his prime he was poetry in motion.
