0:19 * 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.

0:09 The claret is flowing again from the gash over Tunney's right eyebrow. 0:2
0:09 * 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 Tunney by the arm and leading him to the far ropes where the ringside physician can take a look at the cut above Tunney's eye. 0:2
0:13 * Drakulich is calling a halt to this fight. * That's it folks. The gash over Gene Tunney's eye is too bad for him to continue. This fight is over. Loughran is the winner via TKO! 0:2

Re: LHW week 8 fights 19-24 & WBA title
1st title match of the season, leading well in a close fight and (yet again) lose on a cut......we did not deserve to lose but we have to accept it.
Congratulations to Mr Geto and his charge, Mr Loughran. A dark horse and a major player, this season.
Smokin Joe 'deals' with the streaking Woods, accordingly....by KO!

Thank you sir. Losing on a damn cut is always a tough way to lose. Would have been an interesting fight had it gone on. All the rounds were close, aside the first.
