He lost, he wasnt good enough, apologies if that sounds ignorant but im responding to an ignorant post. The cut happened because he was getting punched in the face, Lewis had a slow start and was beginning to take over the bout. If he was good enough he would have won, Lewis looked terrible during that fight yet Vitali still couldnt win. Vitali fought well for the first few rounds no doubt.
Sorry thats just ******ed logic.... ANYONE can get cut.... its just something random. You can't predict it, you cant purposely cause it... it just happens just like other freak injuries happen. Lewis won and won legit but to suggest either fighter wasn't good enough is just stupid. Im not saying Lewis was not good enough because he was behind on rounds, which would be the same dumb logic. There are fighters who take WAY more punishment and never get cut... but i guess they are better? I hope you understand how stupid that sounds.
If Vitali's defence was so good he wouldn't never gotten cut up, the onus is on him not the other way around.
Every fighter gets hit, every fighter can get cut... especially from grazing punches. Stop being ******ed.
Vitali has a very good defence that works extremely well against opponents with a sizeable reach disadvantage which happens to be almost anyone, and generally opponents as big aren't close as athletic but when he does have to face a man who is as athletic and rangy his defence is suddenly a lot less good. It's mainly his low left hand and defence based on leaning back that puts him at a disadvantage against big athletic men. His defence works against almost anyone but not when your opponent is as big and athletic as Lennox Lewis. This content is protected
