Worst cuts you've seen in boxing

by **Fists of Fury** Wed 28 Sep 2011, 10:08 am

No I'm not talking about Paulie Malignaggi's various hair do's, but the worst facial cuts that you have witnessed throughout the history of boxing.

An obvious one would be Vitali Klitschko against Lennox Lewis, but what others can you add?

Cheers

Henry Cooper v Clay

Spoiler:

Despite being b&w it is still shocking.

by **Union Cane** Wed 28 Sep 2011, 10:13 am

How about this fight ending laceration?

Nice comparison, that, shows how times have changed just slightly!

Winky's eye:

by **Fists of Fury** Wed 28 Sep 2011, 10:18 am

Ouch that's horrific, though I must admit I wasn't sure what to expect when you said 'Winky's eye' - bit dodgy..

Valero got a horrible cut to the top of his forehead from an elbow(Demarco fight I think). If the cut had been anywhere is the doc would have called the fight off!

Vasquez (as always) received terrible cuts in his last fight against Marquez which on top of his previous wars ended his career.

Yeah pretty similar to the Winky one from Hopkins.

Vitali's cuts against Lewis were pretty nasty from what I remember.

Seen a picture also of Marciano with a split nostril against Ezzard Charles me thinks, that looked horrid.

Unlike Vitali he was able to stop his opponent to win!

Hattons against Jon Thaxton was bad

Some of the MMA ones are crazy.

by BALTIMORA Wed 28 Sep 2011, 11:14 am

Was just gonna say Marciano's nose. Worst cut I've seen, and possibly the most unusual too.

by **Union Cane** Wed 28 Sep 2011, 11:18 am

MMA ones will of course be worse, as they knee people in the head when they are lying on the floor amongst other such equally skillful moves.

Cheers Union the very one I was thinking of.

Often wonder how long a modern day ref would allow a fighter to continue with such acut.

I reckon a lot would allow him to fight to the finish, it’s not affecting his vision.

Morales and Wolak were allowed to finish a fight where they couldn’t see out of an eye.

Not a cut, per se, but I always reckoned this injury to Carmen Basilio to have been one of the most horrific :

Fixed for you.

Spoiler:

Similar to Morales and Wolak I mentioned earlier.

Spoiler:

Rahman's, Lara etc when their head pops out looks awful too.

You're a pal, Scott. Thank you.

The guy from Hot Chocolate had a pretty bad one:

It has to be Audley Harrison.

Oh, it's "cuts".

I'd offer up Vitali - Lewis (surprised no-one else has, act)

Don't spend enough time on a computer to be competent at it. Although, that's hardly a bad thing.

I'm still b******* this up. So for the sake of argument, Vitali's face was pretty horrific. Were I to describe it, I would say it his face was hanging off somewhat and he was bathed in blood.

I will now delete aforementioned attempts to host a picture and run away, somewhat chastened, from the world of internet picture hosting.

I imagine hers has developed a tolerance to excessive pounding.

by **oxring** Wed 28 Sep 2011, 12:12 pm

Another cut, slightly different cause, this time.

Spoiler:

Finally.

by **Fists of Fury** Wed 28 Sep 2011, 12:13 pm

Could have done with a bigger picture Oxy Wink

by **oxring** Wed 28 Sep 2011, 12:17 pm

This one is seldom mentioned in these debates, but combined with the fact that Jones Jr gassed pretty badly and so his mouth was hanging open - this one looked pretty awful:

Spoiler:

Once enlarged, I feel the image perfectly reflects how much of the ear was missing. Any smaller or larger and the effect would be lost. Artistic privilege, old boy.

Was good of Tyson not to eat it, I suppose.

On a different note - did anyone see that Tyson was one of the celebrity "roasters" of Charlie Sheen on some US TV thing? He wasn't nearly as bad as I thought he'd be.

by **HumanWindmill** Wed 28 Sep 2011, 12:28 pm

I saw that, oxy.

Lost a lot of weight, hasn't he? I was pretty shocked at how ' drawn ' he looked.

Yeah. Probably for the best, really. You can't be 100kg and built like a tank for ever. Sometimes you just have to slim down. Just ask Truss.

Don't 'face-palm' too hard you might cut yourself. Happens when you're least expecting it, ask Vitali.

This one's nasty. Margarito must have had his gloves loaded, with razor blades in this one..

Margarito suffered a bad cut v Santos years ago. Can't find a pic though.

Balls. It worked when I tried it before posting. This was what had sprung to my mind anyway:
