Replay Clears Up Headbutt Controversy In Navarrete vs Suarez

Replay Clears Up Headbutt Controversy

There was a lot of controversy in boxing this weekend with what some thought was a headbutt others thought was a punch but this cleared it up.

It was in the big fight this weekend in the world title action at super featherweight when Charly Suarez clearly landed a punch the replay showed after, not a headbutt, on Mexican world champion Emanuel Navarrete.

The still shot frame is above to clear it up — per the above photo at the top of this article.

He clearly landed a punch and not a headbutt.

That said, it wasn’t enough to get the win for brave Filipino underdog Suarez whom lost a controversial technical decision due to the fight being stopped by the subsequent cut.

He was a bit hard done by and a rematch is surely in order to establish a true winner and WBO super-featherweight world champion next time.

Suarez’ stock increased vastly however.
