I think* the Vitali cut was abit worss, I remember watching a video before where the ref. Explained why he stopped the fight, Vitali had 2 cuts - similar to Fury yesterday, but he mentions that the eye-lid on Vitali was droopy - he couldn't open his eye-lid to see out- he had to tilt his head back to see out of it, that's basically the just of what I remember, if I can find the video il link it
Vitalis cut was much worse which is why the Dr stopped it.
Said it on another thread the cuts were about the same but vitali had massive swelling to the point he couldnt see out that eye . Lewis was pounding away at it as soon as he saw blood
It wasn't far off being as bad. There could be few complaints had it been stopped, I hear it requires plastic surgery so it's clearly a bad one.
That's boxing for you though, when there a big money match up around the corner or the star has alot to lose it's surprising how lenient or shifty things can quickly turn, wilder getting extra time to recover v Ortiz, Joshua being allowed to fight on while concussed and fury allowed to continue with that cut. Its just how this sport works and it don't matter which promoter is running the show. Been happening for a long long time.
