- winning but losing on cuts a la Vitaly-Levis - winning and then NC because drug/steroid issues a la Toney-Ruiz - winning but DQ himself via Golota-Bowe
-Based on unified rules, if a doctor stops a fight you lose, Vitali may have been leading on the scorecards, but he lost by TKO -Only cheaters take performance enhancing drugs, Toney is lucky the fight was changed to just a NC -Golota lost a fight he was clearly winning because he's a ****-up, so the choice here is obvious
Most respectable to least respectable: 1) Vitali against Lewis. 2) Golota against Bowe. 3) Toney against Ruiz.
I think if the fight is stoped before 6th round then its going to scorecards, the fight was stoped after 6th so there was TKO.
It only goes to the scorecards if the cut wasn't caused by a punch. A fight stopped by the doctor because of a cut caused by a punch is a TKO regardless of round, I do believe. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
The first one. Toney and Golota only have themselves to blame and they don't get the slightest sympathy from me.
Stopping someone in cuts is a great way to win a fight. No shame in it whatsoever, as long as the cut was caused by punches. Punch a guy in the face until he can't fight no more you win. Pretty straightforward.
Vitali lost in the most respectable way. He was winning against the Top man in his weight class and was only stopped due to a doctor's decision on a cut. Especially considering that the cut was caused by a grazing punch that unfortunately cut him open. Toney took performance enhancing drugs so anything that he did in the fight is worthless. Golota was setting up his legacy of falling apart in every major fight that he has ever been in. Nothing respectable about that.
