Crazy. This is how dudes die in the ring. That's the kind of cut that should be cleaned immediately.
Not a good look for the sport. It would be one thing if the fight was closer but he was down on the cards.
it's a bit concerning that he wasn't checked for signs of a concussion by the ref/dr/his corner after that nasty headbutt. Showtime trying to market is as being a warrior is a dck move as well, no being a warrior is going to war in a fight you might be losing 8-4 and not walking forward losing pints of blood whilst being shutout and not being able to get going. I'm sure Kell Brook would be thankful today if his corner pulled him out of the GGG fight much earlier.
Lewis gave Vitali a similiar cut that was the size of a vagina and he begged to continue.
The object is to punch the other guy in the face, so this should be no surprise, and it shouldn't have been stopped.
The ref, corner or doctor should've stopped it. He was so far down, having no success and losing so much blood.
But it wasn't in a place like his eye so he continued.
