from what i saw
that cut was caused by an unintentional thumb.....that`s not the type of cut that comes from a regular punch....it looked like the type of jagged tear you would get when you caught your jeans jumping over a fence......those weren`t thumbless gloves...and even if the thumb is attached,if you catch a guy correctly,it can do severe damage....the punch landed with the inside of the glove...in a sort of torquing motion...
klitschko had swelling above and below the eye which also indicates a thumb....
shit happens....a great fight...klitschko fought courageously...
my main problem was the referee....why do you have a 6`5" guy and a 6`7" guy weighing a collective 500 plus pounds in with a 65 year old 5`8" referee weighing around 175 or 180....wtf are they thinking....both camps had to o.k. that .....stupid,stupid,stupid......
when moret broke them,he wasn`t strong enough to push them completely apart and give them enough room to completely reset....i was shocked at this glaring mistake....
that said,i thought it was a great,hard fought bout....not very technically sound...but,a real brawl...
both were tired,but,klitschko seemed to lose most of the power in his shots around the 4th.....he kept landing...but they weren`t affecting lennox as much as the fight wore on.....
could he have outlasted lennox sans the cut?....we`ll never know......
and that cut will be a problem over the rest of his career...that`s ashamed....
a very good outing for klitscko....a no so hot outing for lennox..who looked slow and not sharp at all...the weight and the layoff almost cost him.....whomever wagered on lennox,take a deep breath.....you`ve got more balls than me....
