I just watched ZaVek vs Berto...

The swelling is in the exact place where Berto headbutted Zavec.

Ok dirk bag haha I really didn't see any headbuts occur. You guys act like Berto was purposely head butting him. I didn't even see one head but occur all I saw was a very competitive fight with alot of it taking place on the inside. Where exactly did this malicious head butts occur ?

You can see them in people's sigs all over this forum. I noticed them live. Near the end of the 5th round. Berto lowers his head and comes forward. Looked deliberate to me but only Berto knows if they were.

did you just compare Berto to Margarito and Gatti? da ****kk? ***** u trippin

Exactly....wtf? TS has obviously bought into every word of **** sucking that HBO gave Berto on Saturday night.

He also didnt see the butts which HBO refused to acknowledge.

[xAUGUSTUSx]

And it was a very good tough fight. All u fools saying that BertO was head butting are fooken ******ed! He never head butted and I think most of
U are euro sore losers!
I want to see a rematch cause Zavek was really coming on. Berto needs to rematch right away.
Another thing that got to me was Berto is a Gatti Margarito type fighter who doesn't have the beSt defense but wants to fight. He is an entertaining fighter and needs to get the same props that margs gets and that punk az Brandon
rios gets.

He won't fight like that when he's not in there with some overmatched fighter. He knows he always has the advantage so he goes balls out. He spent most of his career so far fighting blown up Junior Lightweight's and Lightweight's.

Zaveck didn't complain about head butts. Zaveck's head was getting in also. Too bad the fight was stoppped cause it look like it was going to get interesting

I'm sure he didn't want to enrage Dibella with complaints.... Zavec is a humble man, bro. Nobody else quite like it.

Im pretty sure its because his English was not good enough and that Kellerman/HBO completely refused to consider or ask him about headbutts.

I understand Zaveck's nature but if he got head butted I see no problem in him saying in it especially if it cost him the fight cause it would gone to the cards anyway.

If would had complained that he got TKOed by a cut caused by a headbutt then he would look like he would had made an excuse.

To his credit he did want to continue and his corner stopped it, I felt that he could had continue cause he was starting to adjust to Berto's speed

Berto won, but the headbutt happened. Don't pretend it didn't. It's just not obvious from the video footage. I rewatched it many times and couldn't see it. It happened really fast and neither cameras nor REFs caught it. But the slowmotion GIFs definitely show it.






Zavec wasn't complaining afterwards, because he knows it's pointless (he'd complained about a fight result before and nothing happened), and he'd just get on the bad side of Dibella ruining his chances of fighting in the US again (not that he has much to begin with). Outside of DB I don't see anybody else picking Zavec up for another fight (Collazo/Quintana maybe).
It's a W for Berto, but not a good one, and a rematch would be good. Because I don't think Berto has really made any noise with this win in the highest boxing circles. Not because he won against an unknown, but because he didn't look really good either. He won the first 3 rounds, but after that he gassed, his defense went from bad to horrendous, taking a bunch of clean shots and losing round 4 and 5 if it weren't for the clash. It's amusing how Tony Morgan said, their plan was to rush Zavec full power and try to knock him out in 2 rounds, and if that didn't work then try to outbox him in the following rounds. And interestingly Zavec obviously outboxed him when they tried boxing. Funny stuff.

Thank you for showing
I can def see it now
what gets to me is everyone complaining about it. THat right there is exactly how ricky hatton fougth but worst and all the bloody euros loved him for it. NOw that a black american does it they cry river. WTF is that?

Look Dirk Bag lets get one thing straight me unlike you am an unbias boxing fan. I am not saying that Berto is great and he did nothing wrong all I was saying is that I didnt see it. and I gave Z his props and want to see an immediate rematch cause it was a good close fight that I think could have gone either way at the point it was stopped.
you talk about *** riding yet you are the one that is al brown because you have your head so far up ricky hattons az
here i got something for you
