Yea, it was comical when Byrd missed the first bloodied headbutt. They fought on almost a full minute and it wasn't until they tied up again and Byrd broke them up, that he even noticed the blood. He thought the headbutt happened during the clinch. And then when he didn't call the knockdown for Beltran - pfft. Even the time keeper was counting for the knock down. I guess if the fighter going down tackles his opponent, it doesn't count as a knock down LOL. WTF? ****, I'm surprised bright-eyed Byrd didn't call it a double knock down. 
Those score cards were horendous and can't really be justified IMO. The look on both fighters faces while listening to the decision said a lot I think. They BOTH wondered what the hell fight the judges had just watched. I think Bulgere thought he had lost the fight when he heard the scores, because even he knew he couldn't have won that many rounds. You could see a look of relief on Bulgere's face when they announced he had won.
