Round 10
Time Commentary Points
0:00 It's Round 10 of this scheduled 15 rounder. 0:0
0:07 Evangelista Cotto was really animated in Tunney's corner and Tunney was nodding in agreement. 0:0
0:07 Tunney's corner is an experienced crew but the swelling he's suffered looks almost as bad as it did before the minute break. 0:0
0:12 Tunney landed a sharp combination that rocked Duran back on his heels! 0:5
0:12 Duran is trying to regroup after those punches... 0:5
0:12 And now Duran is bleeding again from that last punch as his previous cut has been reopened. 0:5
0:12 Duran's got blood streaming into his left eye again as the gash above it has reopened here in round 10. 0:5
0:12 * The fighters jockey back and forth and now the referee is going to use this opportunity to step in and call timeout. He's taking Duran by the arm and leading him to the far ropes where the ringside physician can take a look at the cut above Duran's eye. 0:5
0:17 * Oh boy, the blood is just spurting out of a cut high on Duran's forehead. The two fighters clashed heads in Round 2 and that must have caused the gash. It was accidental, no question. Viruet is stopping the action. He's motioning for the ring doctor to come look at the cut. Duran is pawing at the blood. This one's going to be over. Yes, that's it. There are more than 4 rounds in the book, so that means we'll be going to the scorecards. Points will be tallied as of the last completed round. We'll have to await the judges decision in this abbreviated bout. 0:5
