Jaw was clearly broken in the previous round. Abraham walked into round 5 bleeding like a son of a bitch!
He had a big bloodstain on his shorts. Not sure why people can't see that.
Intentional headbutts are always two points. Same with any offensive move like a body slam or something. Kind of ridiculous how a low blow is just 1 point when it can be so much more damaging.
Really? If that's true, I did not know that.
Did Maussa have two points deducted when he threw that lunging headbutt at Vivian Harris? I don't remember if there were points deducted. I do remember it was one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
I have seen it many times now and that did not break his jaw no fucking way.......

It looked intentional to me, but I'm going to have to watch the fight because it looks as if A.A. might have rabbit punched him right before the head butt which prompted him to react in that way.
If Abraham would have gone back to fight and not walk away, nobody would even remember the whole headbutt thing. It happens many times in fights worse than this with no points being taken away. bullshit stuff man!
Are you sure that's right? I think Reid only got 1 point for his butt in the Lacy fight, same with Barrera when he slammed Hamed into the post.
I think if the ref calls it intentional, 2 pts is correct.
The problem I have is that the ref was going to let it go with a warning. When it happened he broke them apart and said "Watch the heads". He was than ready to do nothing else and let them engage. He looked towards Abraham and AA started walking to his corner holding his head. Now things change and the ref walks to Abraham and than to the supervisor and calls an intentional headbutt.
Just another piece of the whole fucked up German cut puzzle!

I think AA jaw was already broken at the end of the fourth. I at first thought AA was getting tired since his mouth was open and he was breathing heavy so i have to agree with the rest of the posters that the jaw was broken before the headbutt.
Yes the headbutt was intentional but no way hard enough to break a jaw.
wtf, that headbutt CAN break a jaw. it hit him near the ear, take your hand under your ear and whats there? your fucking jawbone. now imagine taking a headbutt at that angle directly on the jawbone. that headbutt could have easily dislocated his jaw
Headbutt was dirty. I don't really agree with 2 points, but I think there should have been a point deduction. He may have caught the jaw, just under the ear, but I'm sure it was already broken. If anything, he saw it was broken, and was tryin' to bang heads to make him more uncomfortable.

There's no question it was intentional.
But so what?
That was hardly a butt. It was more of a nudge.
That happens all the time in fights, and rarely does something that minor even receive a wardning nevermind an automatic 2 point deduction.
