Fights where a cut just totally changed the fight...

huge Gatti fan here but all bs aside Hutchinson got jobbed in that fight....... I'm gonna go a different direction and point out a fight where a bad cut seemed to benefit the fighter who received it. Arturo Gatti was cut very badly against againt Joe Hutchinson in the 2nd round of a 10 round fight and was bleeding profusely from then onward. The cut was, imo, nearly as bad as the one Klitschko suffered against Lewis. However instead of coming unglued Gatti seemed to feed off of it and really poured it on. The fact that Gatti fought through it seemed to intimidate Hutchinson who was outboxing Gatti early, and he ended up dropping the decision to Arturo. http://assets.nydailynews.com/img/2009/07/12/amd_gatti-hutchison.jpg If you watch this fight you will notice Gatti had a strategy of grabbing ang holding his opponent until the ref would break them at which point Gatti would wipe his cut on the referee's shirt to get the blood out of his eye.

A few said this already but Pavlic vs Martinez is a great example of a cut changing the momentum of the fight, since Pavlic had a lead early on but when he was cut Pavlic lost focus and Martinez proceeded to take over and win the fight. Pavlik had absolutely no lead early on. Martinez won the early rounds and Pavlik won some of the middle rounds, than martinez took over again. But it was also seeable that martinez had a plan b and c and switched tactics

Pac-Morales 1. It did not dampen Pac's spirit but he said later that he could not see with his other eye due to blood flowing from the cut.

Jim Watt vs. Sean O'Grady

Ortiz vs Maidana

Whoops my bad I guess my head was also on Basketball lol.

Another fight was Juan Diaz vs Elden Campbell which took place about three years ago in Cancun Mexico. Diaz was undefeated at the time and was all set to overwhelm the underdog Campbell but instead Diaz got cut in the third round and the fight completly changed in the favor of Campbell who went on to win via unanimous decision and left Diaz blank. Elden Campbell? You mean Nate Campbell? That was already mentioned too.

Lennox Lewis-Vitali Klitschko Jones-Calzaghe it wasn't really a turn around cause jones was losing but he stopped even fighting I'n spurts and just stood there

Lennox Lewis-Vitali Klitschko

JMM - Juan Diaz fight, was very close til Diaz got cut and had a mental breakdown. Beat me to it.

Pavlik-Martinez somewhat. The tables didn't completely turn, but Pavlik was starting to find his spot and then got another bad cut and was completely destroyed. Totally agree with this. Even if he wasn't still dominating with the jab like he was in the middle rounds, he was fighting on basically even terms until his face started to fall apart.

Diaz-Campbell It was a really close fight until the cut, Campbell just too over then.
