Accidental headbutt cuts rule.

What about the fighter who worked his ass off and won nearly every round? Is that fair to him to declare the fight a no contest? And personally I don't understand why there's a difference between cuts caused by headbutts and cuts caused by punches. Cuts are always accidental, you can't intentionally cut your opponent unless you bite him.

Would be great

I just thought I would see what peoples opinions are on this rule. A fighter gets cut by an accidental butt, the fight is in the 7th round and gets stopped and one of the fighters gets a TD. I propose this rule is retarded. If a fight is a championship fight, it should always be measured by the full 12 rounds unless ended by TKO, KO etc. How many fights have we seen decided in the championship rounds? If a guy is behind by a couple rounds but then starts coming on strong but gets butted in the 7th and it is stopped it is not fair. Some fighters are slow starters and fight with a gameplan that sees them takeover in the last few rounds. Stopping it early does not encompass all strategies. I propose all accidental butts that cause cuts bad enough for a fight to be halted should be a NC with an immediate rematch put into action. this will certainly never happen. in the wrong circumstances (forcing a rematch of a high dollar fight that sucked, for instance,) it would cost promotors and networks tons of money. just imagine if you had that rule in place for alexander and bradley. that fight was 25% of HBO's world championship boxing budget for the year. a rematch would roughly double that. that's 50% of their budget for the entire year on absolute sh#t, and for that reason it will never happen. clashes of heads are an unfortunate reality in the sport.
