01:09 * There's a sudden halt in the action and we're not sure why. Oh, apparently there's some concern on the part of Referee Cortez about the amount of blood on the face of Leonard. Even though the damage isn't over either of Leonard's eyes, it's been deemed serious enough to have the ringside physician at least look at it. 6:5
01:09 * The referee won't stop the fight on his own if the reason for the stoppage directly has to do with a cut or swelling; he'll always consult the ringside doctor. And it looks like, in this case, we're going to see some more boxing because the physician has given his okay to let the fight continue.
