There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

I do not think so at all. In 2vs1 the resault would be obvious, but in 1vs1 there would have to be some huge gab in strenght between the two that one would kill the other. Killing in 1vs1 is incredibly inlikely scenario in 1vs1 between 2 healty (lame back leg of Monwana male should not matter at all in 1vs1), being in good condition lions.

There is no reason why he would fight Giraffe pride or Giraffe male. Also so much cuts on male lion's face hardly could be done be some females.
It's said that the Monwana male chased a young male one morning. So, the cuts could have been most likely made by the Giraffe young male on a ,,Scuffle". To be fair, lionesses could do a lot of scars when they feel intimidated with other lions. So, it could be very likely that were either Giraffe pride or Giraffe young male. Hercules and Sumatra males didn't showed any scar in recent sightings.
