Good thoughts, Lyle, in factoring in the effect the cut had on contributing to the activity level of the fight.

The final outcome, had the fight continued, is obviously an unknown. Clearly Vitali was the far more active and deserved to be where he was in terms of the cards at the end of round 6. But it is far from clear that the rest of the fight would have continued to go his way.

Looked like Lewis was beginning to hit his stride and if so that would have changed things. But we'll never know.
