Was Lennox Lewis vs Vitali Klitschko cut actually caused by a headbutt ?

Why is everyone acting like Vitali had one cut? Lennox was butchering him, and every single cut came from punches. Dr. Pearlman Hicks, a California-based plastic surgeon, said in a telephone news conference that 60 stitches were required to repair four cuts on Klitschko's face and one cut in his mouth. Hicks also said he thought it would take 60 to 90 days for the damage to heal, and that it could take up to six months before Klitschko could safely fight again. Klitschko said he would most likely request the World Boxing Council to order an immediate rematch. https://www.nytimes.com/2003/06/25/sports/boxing-60-stitches-for-klitschko.html

Huh? He was outboxing him. Us? You're probably primal ghetto crackhead overcome with feelings of inferiority when he sees a classy futuristic playboy stud like me walk by. Not sure why you'd even bring that up. with one eye hanging out.

yeh clearly he was superior in stopping his eye getting ripped out too. like i am superior to you in seeing that fact but hey dont want to make you feel bad if you only got one eye. Huh?

There was no butt that caused the cut.

I dunno if you've ever watched boxing before but cuts are pretty common & how severe they bleed is pretty random. Vitali was the superior boxer... Because he boxed better. yeh clearly he was superior in stopping his eye getting ripped out too. like i am superior to you in seeing that fact but hey dont want to make you feel bad if you only got one eye.

by getting his face riped off. i guess you would consider getting your face ripped off as being superior. nice one meathead, go get a knife, cut your eye out and feel superior to me if that is what brings u joy.

FACT: Vitali Quitsko *lost* to the two best HWs he faced... the only two really good ones.

How did the inferior boxer end up making the superior boxer look so inferior? Confusing stuff there m8 by getting his face riped off. i guess you would consider getting your face ripped off as being superior. nice one meathead, go get a knife, cut your eye out and feel superior to me if that is what brings u joy.

It was caused by Vitali being inferior boxer back then same as it always will be, because thats what vitali was. same deal whenever vitali stepped too far above fringe contender level opponents. How did the inferior boxer end up making the superior boxer look so inferior? Confusing stuff there m8

Lennox won fare and square by stoppage due to a cut, but go fck yourself with any claims that Lennox was out boxing anyone that night. There is ZERO evidence that Lennox "out boxed" Vitaliy, as the latter landed more of everything and was pressing the action. So take the Lennox W and STFU before calling the other camp salty because you come across as no better. Learn to ANALYZE. He was beginning to visible bully Vitali Kiltschko! The longer the fight would of went, it was clear that Lennox Lewis was landing more hard jabs, and in general just bullying Kiltschko.

I personally believe the cut was due to the short right hand on the inside And yes it does not start bleeding right away but that is common if their was no rip to the skin So maybe the leading engagement ( where the heads do clash , and to my opinion not a hard clash but enough to get that blood clot to tear and begin bleeding ) I do believe Vitali was winning ( whether Lennox didn’t train or wtv ) But do believe Lennox , with his experience would have jumped on that and probably get the w anyway. Good thread though , just wish we could stick to the intended thread

The match helped Vitali big time. Prior to that fight he was looked at as more an amateur style who quit against Byrd. After the Lewis loss he was viewed a warrior. A deep cut to the brow won’t bleed immediately. Takes time to get the color flowing. It’s why wrestlers cut their forehead and not near their eyebrow. It’s one of the easiest places to get cut, but no real veins The video evidence says, big overhand right, no blood, only after the headbutt goes in do I see any blood. You can't make assumptions, you have to go with the evidence

Why don't all of you m'fckas actually bring some analysis to the table? Nothing but retards in both directions......special Olympics in this place every fckin thread. Lennox won legit by punch that caused an injury forcing the doctor to stop the fight. W for Lennox. Lennox was getting soundly outboxed and hurt throughout the fight. Evidence for this statement? Vitaliy landed 50% more POWER SHOTS and a good amount more jabs. Vitaliy was up on the scorecards.

You can read all the stats you want if your eye hasnt just been torn out by someone who knows how to box better. "Sure, I got better stats but he ripped my face off so hes clearly the inferior boxer...OOOPS SORY HURHUR" Is your middle name not Amir Khan because it sounds like you are claiming you were winning until you got knocked out.

Lennox landed one of the best upper cuts I've seen.

yeh just try and pretend that its me claiming 13 years on that vitali won, when its me replying to these clowns making the claim. go speak to your pals about the 13 years on thing.

What ? I'm looking for a real discussion here but instead all I get is salty Lewis fans that are making a bunch of excuses like "he would have knocked him out anyway" as a reason for why he not performed. I'm not arguing who would have won the fight if it continued. This thread is about the cut being caused by a headbutt or a punch. Because from watching the tape the blood started flowing after the headbutt, but it might have been a delayed reaction from the punch I'm not sure... I dont mean you, i mean those being salty about vitali being denied a win. I'm the anti-salt, funny how you see me as the salt here.

I was actually going to write a real reply, but having seen your subsequent replies you got some kind of weird hard-on for Vitaliy so I'll just leave it at that... Its ok buddy, life will work itself out, don't late the hate consume you. :beerchug: yeh just try and pretend that its me claiming 13 years on that vitali won, when its me replying to these clowns making the claim. go speak to your pals about the 13 years on thing.

sure he outboxed him by letting him systematically tear his face off. Lennox was "inferior" to vitali by ripping vitalis eye half out. great outboxing. vitali went blitzkrieg and in doing so failed to defend himself.

13 years on the klitscko fans are still butthurt than Frank Bruno did much better v Lewis than their hero. Change the record. What ?
