View Full Version : Who in boxing history, had the bloodiest, worst, ugliest fight face due to cuts?
TheRealDunnagan 01-28-2005, 05:47 PM vitali/lennox bout, vitali's left eye was absolutely terrible, but I remember seeing worse...but I FORGOT which fight it was. It was a while back, maybe it was Ward/Gatti but I don't think it was. This cut was so bad when they showed the cutman putting the swab in it, like the entire whole swab went inside the guys eyelid :eek: I remember clenching my teeth when I saw it, and I'm the type of guy that NEVER does that.
another thing-
you dark complected people are lucky to have tough skin ;)

Yeah Klitschko/Lewis was prettty brutal. Vitalis eye was pretty swollen, with a very deep gash, looked painful
Kid Achilles 01-28-2005, 06:00 PM Rahman's hematoma was pretty bad.
Also Henry Cooper looked like a mutilated zombie by the end of his 1966 fight with Ali.

warped 01-28-2005, 06:01 PM Rahman's swollen noggin was pretty harsh after a clash with holyfield's indestructable cranium. That lump kept growing and growing. Pretty hilarious when i see posted in forums as a means to "bump" the page back to the top.
TheRealDunnagan 01-28-2005, 06:03 PM Yeah Klitschko/Lewis was prettty brutal. Vitalis eye was pretty swollen, with a very deep gash, looked painful
yeah man.
From what I remember of that fight, Vitali had three cuts near his left eye. Two over it, and one under it. They weren't like small cuts either, they were like hanging mouth-shaped cuts ;-( poor bastard should've washed his face in beefbroth like dempsey did ;-)

that pic is BRUTAL!
damn I guess in those days they didn't use vaseline ;O
is part of his skull showing, or is it just the picture quality messing with me?but yeah, that poor guy looks like hamburger
Atwa_66 01-28-2005, 06:37 PM yeah man.

haha yeah, you are right. And aside from the bleeding, Klitschko had like puss coming out from it too, not a pleasant sight, his cornerman was diggin the swab into it too, that couldn't have felt too good, the fact that it's busted up and all.

Incidentally, Cooper - who has seemingly based his entire career on the one time he caught Ali - said Ali never hurt him, but was always prone to cuts due to thin skin and prominent bone structure.
Zeroflip1 01-28-2005, 07:30 PM What about that wonderful picture of Marcianos nose split thanks to that elbow. Now that really looks like it hurts :eek:
Mike Tyson Jr. 01-28-2005, 07:35 PM vitali klitcko when lewis
beat his ass.
marvdave 01-28-2005, 07:42 PM Marciano's nose was brutal, Cooper vs Ali
Mancini hads some nice looking cuts vs Bramble
Sir_Jose 01-28-2005, 08:51 PM Vitali easy. Its been awhile sine a fighter has gotten sliced up like that.
trinidadpr87 01-28-2005, 08:53 PM Vitali easy. Its been awhile sine a fighter has gotten sliced up like that.
Yeah it looked like freddy kruger got a hold of him.
TheRealDunnagan 01-29-2005, 10:11 AM poor bastard needs to get more sun. if he got a tan I bet he'd be less susecptible to cuts.
aztec13 01-29-2005, 11:32 AM DLH V.S Chavez I was pretty bloody, but rahman's head was by far the ugliest.
trephination 01-29-2005, 12:00 PM Rahmans Head was pretty bad....How bout Chuck wepner
TheRealDunnagan 01-29-2005, 12:04 PM what the hell did cooper expect going into a fight with a week-old facial hair growth on his face. that's always a bad idea in my opinion, before a fight you should be clean shaven or have a huge beard. The week growth almost acts as a damage multiplier if you get hit on the chin, because since it changes the surface of your face to rough, when a smooth glove comes into contact with it, it grabs the face better
bonafuwa 01-29-2005, 03:00 PM Marciano's split nose no doubt. I can't believe they let the fight go on, even if it was just for one more round as the legend goes. That **** was nasty!
GattiFan 02-07-2005, 01:50 AM I dunno about any cuts....but did you see Joppys head after his fight with Hopkins? He looked like eric stoltz from the movie "MasK"
AintGottaClue 02-07-2005, 12:08 PM im think this thread was started just to mention vitali/lennox and to hate on vitali....
Eyeh8you 02-07-2005, 03:33 PM Marciano's nose was brutal, Cooper vs Ali

How did your disrespectful ass get back onto the site. Did you beg Rick Reeno let you back on because you have no life.
Your a ****ing ******.
Slipx 02-07-2005, 04:06 PM why did he get banned?
ive never seen anorak do anything worthy of a ban /shrug

He got banned for making a "joke" thread of the death of boxing legend Max Schmelling. It was extremely unclassy and disrespectful wothy of banishment. I don't know how this ****face can call himself a boxing fan for the **** he said.

xrhythmxnxbluesx 02-07-2005, 05:10 PM vitali's was crucial... but what about meldrick taylor vs chavez... didnt taylor have some fractures... after the fight..
DiegoFuego 02-07-2005, 07:11 PM If you think Lewis-Klitschko was the worst looking face/cut you've ever seen, I would like to welcome you to boxing. Hope you stay a while.

really.
then perhaps u can name a fight where the cut fighter had THREE GAPING HOLES, one above the eye, two below, all in a draping mouth shape just spouting blood. each cut no less than 2" in circumference.
PessimisticPug 02-07-2005, 10:08 PM The guy that I remember for getting cut was a guy named Colin Jones. I was young and had just started watching boxing when Colin ran into a young and awefully sharp Donald Curry. I know that it was not the worst chopped up face in the history of the sport but it was a memorable sight for me. It seems to me that he was cut and swollen below one of his eyes but it was the nasty gash acrossed the bridge of his nose that caused the stoppage. The thing that was so memorable about was how he weapped in the corner after the stoppage. It was his final chance and he was detoured not because of an inability to fight, he was stopped because of the inability of his skin to with stand the punishment that being a boxer brings with it.
I fought this one guy from Africa in the pros. He continually headbutted me causing cuts on my forehead as well as up in my left eye brow. He recieved warnings from the referee and we kept fighting. Finally I saw him coming in with his head again and I said f**k this and lowered my head and jolted forward. We came out of a clinch and I saw that above his right eye he had a nasty,nasty gash. Ofcourse I jumped on him and stopped him a minute or so later. That was the worst cut I've ever seen live. It was wide...................Rockin'

that elbow he got to the face

fair dinkim mate..
did you see former wbc lightheavey champ jeff hardings face coming into the last round with dennis andreas..
oldgringo 02-07-2005, 11:10 PM vitali's was crucial... but what about meldrick taylor vs chavez... didnt taylor have some fractures... after the fight..
Taylors face didnt look overly bad...but he sustained some of the worst punishment and injuries ever seen in boxing.
He had multiple facial fractures, two or three cuts inside his mouth, cracked ribs, internal bleeding, and multiple contusions. He really got ****ed up bad.
Slipx 02-07-2005, 11:18 PM yup..chavez was a beast.
that straight right hand is what ultimately ****ed meldrick ;-( such a tragic fight

That's why Richard Steele is an incompetent piece of ****!! Meldrick Taylor was looking over at his corner and giving attention to Steele when Steele asked him if he was alright.. Meldrick was distracted, not incoherent.. The way that kid fought his heart out, I'll never forgive Steele.. Also in Jones vs Toney in Rd.5 the ten second alert for time remaining in the round happened while both fighters were caught in a good exchange.. Steele broke them up because he thought it was the bell.. How the fuc* do you confuse a thump on the canvas with a bell.. No wonder everyone boos Steele, he is incompetent at best!!

ya your right

This is the cut Mickey Ward gave to Leija. You can't mention cut without Leija. I always thought this was a nice one.
paulmmv 02-08-2005, 01:43 AM from what i saw i would hafe to say vitali/lewis fight
jayschre 02-08-2005, 03:19 AM I remember just about every fight I ever saw Daniel Zaragosa in his face looked like he'd been rubbing it with a cheese grater, so I'd have to go with just about any of his fights as the worst I've seen .
If you count mma I'd have to go with either Marvin Eastman after Belfort put what looke like a vagina on his forehead, or or Fedor's cut after clash of heads with Nog, or probably both Pele and Jorge Patino`s heads after a 30 min. head butting match in brazil:eek:
