02:06 The claret begins flowing again from the gash outside Monzon's right eyebrow. 11:2
02:06 * Thrasher is taking a close look at the blood trickling down Monzon's face; and now he steps in and stops the contest. Apparently, he wants the doctor to take a look at the damage done to Carlos Monzon's face, especially the cut above the eye. 11:2

02:06 The claret begins flowing again from the gash outside Monzon's right eyebrow. 11:2
02:06 * Thrasher is taking a close look at the blood trickling down Monzon's face; and now he steps in and stops the contest. Apparently, he wants the doctor to take a look at the damage done to Carlos Monzon's face, especially the cut above the eye. 11:2
