02:30 The cut is outside his right eye. Fortunately, it's in a spot that shouldn't affect his vision, which has to be a major consolation to Prince Badi Ajamu. Had it been above the eye, it would have been a whole different story! 17:2

0:07 * Clancy is taking a close look at the blood trickling down Prince Badi Ajamu'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 Ajamu's face, especially the cut above the eye. 3:0
0:07 * 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.

And talk about timing, the referee has stepped in and momentarily stopped the fight. He's looking at the cut above Ajamu's eye and is now leading him toward the ringside physician. 9:0
0:36 * Referee Clancy halts this fight. He's taking Ajamu to his corner and waving for the ring physician. The doctor is looking at it... Prince Badi Ajamu's corner is pleading with both the referee and the doctor.* They want Ajamu to be allowed to at least finish the round. The Referee is waving it off. It's over! The doctor is not going to let it continue. The winner by TKO due to the severity of the cuts - Fox! 9:0

02:30 * That last shot stunned Ajamu and it looks like Fox is going to receive an added benefit from the punch because Ajamu is now bleeding. 17:2
02:30 The cut is outside his right eye. Fortunately, it's in a spot that shouldn't affect his vision, which has to be a major consolation to Prince Badi Ajamu. Had it been above the eye, it would have been a whole different story! 17:2
02:39 Ajamu doesn't have to look for Fox this round. He is right there in front of him. 17:2

0:07 * 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.

0:36 * Referee Clancy halts this fight. He's taking Ajamu to his corner and waving for the ring physician. The doctor is looking at it... Prince Badi Ajamu's corner is pleading with both the referee and the doctor.* They want Ajamu to be allowed to at least finish the round. The Referee is waving it off. It's over!
