Time Commentary Points
0:00 Here come the fighters to ring center... 0:0

0:49 * Robinson seems to be having some difficulty seeing. It's not that he's bleeding all that badly but the location of the cut - over the eye - makes it a bit more serious.

02:49 The two fighters exchange blows and that shot has started the claret flowing stronger from the gash over Robinson's eyebrow. The cut is continuing to grow worse as additional punishment impacts on it. 9:10
02:49 * 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 Robinson by the arm and leading him to the far ropes where the ringside physician can take a look at the cut above Robinson's eye. 9:10
02:53 * Referee Caiz Sr. halts this fight. * It's all over, the cut over Robinson's eye is in terrible shape and he will not be able to continue! The winner by TKO Johnson! 9:10
