0:18 And now it appears as if Gavilan's cut has been reopened by one of those punches that landed. 0:2

02:53 * Blood is trickling from the cut over Gavilan's eye; it has to be impairing his vision somewhat and it's definitely bothering him if the amount of blinking he's doing is any indication. And it looks like . . . yes . . . Referee Perez Pineda is notifying the timekeeper to stop the clock. He wants the doctor at ringside to take a look at Gavilan's facial wound. 6:22
02:53 * The ringside physician is making a thorough examination of the cut, after having cleared away some of the blood. He's dabbing at the wound again and from the way all three participants, doctor, ref and fighter, are nodding their heads, it looks like this contest is going to get back underway.
