Im sick of people saying that Lewis's punch caused the cut. Yeah, I think it was a punch, but an illegal one. Lets go to the rules
"They are prohibited from holding the ropes for support when punching, holding an opponent while punching, or ducking below the belt of their opponent. If a "clinch," a defensive move in which a boxer wraps his or her opponents arms and holds on to create a pause, is broken by the referee, each fighter must take a full step back before punching again."
The punch happened at 2:50 in the third round where Lewis grabbed and held Vitali, the ref told them to break, and then lewis while holding hit Vitali. It was an illegal punch, history will remember it as a DQ.
