I don't know. It was legal. Certainly not in the 'fair play' mode but really, the fight had resumed and it is 'protect yourself at all times'. I don't like what he did, and I think it's definitely borderline but it was within rules so...?Funniest moment was the interview after by Larry Merchant!

He was quoted in some article I saw over the weekend saying that he had restarted the fight before Mayweather's shot. Might have been a couple slips in process though, like not putting the fighters in neutral corners before deducting the point for the head butt.Doesn't really matter though. Mayweather is going to get kicked around the ring if he ever faces Pacquiao.
