Berto-Zavec, cuts caused by headbutts?

[Steak]

First off, no, Im not here to 'discredit' Berto or 'make excuses', get that out of your head.

Its just that those cuts were really nasty, and seemed to come almost out of nowhere. You usually see that kind of facial damage caused so quickly because of a clash of heads.


I wouldve really liked to see the fight continue, but obviously it couldnt have in Zavecs condition. poor guy was so upset that the fight had to be stopped, and honestly I dont blame him. I thought the fight was starting to turn his way, and its definitely not like he was being outclassed, he was landing some flush shots on Berto from the getgo.

thoughts?

No,caused by big punches

If you look closely the main part of that headbutt is to the nose, not the eye. When contact with the nose is made the force was greatly slowed. The swelling may of been sped up from the butt but majority of the swelling and cut over the eye was caused from the uppercut.

No,caused by big punches

Larry, please. Most of Berto's punches were blocked.

are there any gifs of the uppercut by any chance? I remember HBO showing the replay but nothing looked that super flush that it would have caused such a bad cut.


It was a good fight last night, Id like to see a rematch personally.

No,caused by big punches

Which ones? Ordinarily HBO would find the punch that did the damage but the only thing they showed looked su****iously like a headbutt.

I thought it was odd that HBO didn't even consider the fact that it might have been a headbutt. Maybe it was cos usually the other fighter alerts people to the fact that he was butted, but still.....

not the ones that ripped Zabecks face up thats all that matters

^he hits his nose then the followup to the eye, dont forget sometimes when a nose is broken the eye's start to swell. (If you ever broke your nose you will notice sometimes you get 2 black eyes then next day)

I never seen a punch cause an eye to swell like that, if you download the fight and look at the end, you will see Zaveck had a CUT on his eyebrow that came from a punch. That swelling came from the headbutt and the constant rubbing of Berto's head in that spot. Look at it closely, Zaveck cringes when Berto headbutts him.

Name me a fight where a punch caused the eye to swell shut within 30 seconds, a punch causes a CUT which bleeds and expands (like the one on his eyebrow, which was Bleeding but not swelling)
