Berto did NOT win due to..

[Ra Amun Tehuti]

accidental headbutts. Nothing in the replays show headbutts as a cause. What was messing up zavecks face was getting hit with crisp punches. Berto was sitting down on everything he threw. Zavecks gloves were glued to his cheeks most of the fight which can cause cuts and swelling if they're hit by hard punches.

Holding your hands against your face isn't sound defense, it may be easier if your arms or tired but ineffective. The reason why you put your hands up is to deflect and parry, as well as block. If they are touching your face you take the impact of the punch. Pretty damn simple.

by the end of the 3rd round you could see his face is red and right eye was closing up people just hate Berto around here and would never give the man props for what he did.

also Berto power is underrated imo

zaveck is not Ukrainian FYI

[johnm is...]

LOL. People acting like Berto just went out there, lowered his head, ran into Zavec a few times, and the fight got stopped.

Say what you what, make all the excuses you want... he was touching Zavec up for the entire fight.

no doubt, although a lot of the punches were blocked.

it was a very competitive and demanding fight for both of them, which is why I would have liked to see how it would have gone in the late rounds.

I will take your post as an accurate account of the fight. There are too many hatin ass posters on this site, at least I know when I see a JohnM post it is honest and true.

Thanks John. I will view this fight once someone uploads it, and my server is fast enough to run YouTube.

they were getting blocked by zavecks gloves, which were glued to his face and pounding his face whenever he "blocked" them.

You're right.

They looked deliberate.
