    Just rewatched this fight and still can't figure out how a very ordinary punch could have caused that gash. Was there a headbutt in there somewhere that I didn't see? Btw, that fight could have gone either way. Vitali was up on points, but either guy could have found the will to win in the late rounds. It's a real shame that a cut decided it.

    It was from that looping overhand right early in round 3, then Lewis hit Klitschko with another right hand.

    Watch the replay of the overhand right (start of R3) in slow motion, you can practically see his eye socket cave in.

    I've actually heard a Klit-Licker claim that the cut was "barely a scratch on his face and not serious at all".

    He didn't even say it jokingly or in a trolling way, either.

    I dont know why people think Vitali would have beaten Lennox.....Lennox was definately on a downward spiral at this point and to me he was slow starting and then he started to take the fight over.....Also he didnt exactly look in top shape for this fight.

    Lewis annihilated his face with his punches. He won. TKO. Get over it.

    There was a hard right hand punch but there were also some very evident head smashes by Lewis, which came first, I am in the opinion of the right hand but I do not know the damage of the corn rows. I have heard they are painfull to get hit by. Needless to say the result was a tko
