Respect to Bradley, but there is no doubt he uses that head to his advantage

[Pullcounter]

You missed my point, what if it's the opponent coming because of Bradley's size? There's just no way you could do that unless you determined that Bradley was doing it on purpose.

For years they wanted the same thing done to Holyfield but they couldn't do it.

doesn't matter.... based on the stats of timmah cutting his opponent with his head in the last 5(?) fights, you gotta treat timmmah's head with prejudice. you just gotta start deducting points.

Does anyone recall if Bradley was warned even once about diving in with his head this past weekend?

the ref was warning both of them all night... but you gotta figure timmah is the culprit since alexander was the one taking all the damage.

If anything, it's because of his aggressiveness. None of his headbutts ever look intentional to me. In the Alexander fight, I only saw one headbutt, surprisingly, that was because of him. The rest seemed to be because of Alexander. At least when he comes forward, he's throwing punches with his head following. Ward on the other hand will will come forward with his head with no punches before hand or after.

I think this may only be the second or third time we've agreed on something.

The intent is not really the issue. Whether he intends it or not, it's coming to his advantage and refs need to stop it.

Alexander would've probably lost anyway, but no one can say that the fight would've been the same if it wasn't for Bradley's hammerhead.

He needs to learns how to head butt without cutting his opponent kind of like Bhop and Holyfield. Everytime Tim uses his head he cuts his opponent.

Nah man. The guy leads with his head 50% of the time and the punches come after. I'd say there was at least 5-6 times where he landed a big punch against Devon right after nailing him with his dome.

The only way he "leads" with his head is because he has a squared stance and comes in with his chin up. He ALWAYS comes in with the intention of throwing punches, no clinches and anything of that sort. Check the replays of the headbutts, most of them were Devon's fault because the contrast of styles. Headbutts wouldn't even happen if his face wasn't open anyway, "protect yourself at all times", as the refs say. I guarantee if there was a glove covering his face, it wouldn't have been smacked by Bradley's giant forehead.

Again, easier said than done and it would be like using replay to determine what is a holding call in the NFL.

It's a call based on perspective and in boxing it happens so fast, you jsut couldn't do it.

I see what you are saying and don't disagree with you, I just don't think they would do that because if a ref came in and did take that stance, Bradley's whole game would be changed and he would be rendered infective.

Can anyone put up a gif of that final headbutt?
