01:25 LaLonde's got blood streaming into his left eye again as the gash above it has reopened here in round 9. 23:2
01:25 * Blood is trickling from the cut over LaLonde'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 Moret is notifying the timekeeper to stop the clock. He wants the doctor at ringside to take a look at LaLonde's facial wound. 23:2
01:29 * That's a nasty looking cut. There doesn't seem to be any doubt that it was caused by the accidental head butt in Round 5. The referee has momentarily stopped the fight. They're going to have the ring side physician take a look at it. LaLonde is bleeding badly. The doctor's examining it...he's shaking his head. LaLonde is protesting...but that's it! They're going to stop the fight. There are more than 3 rounds in the book, so that means we'll be going to the scorecards. Points will be tallied as of the last completed round. We'll have to await the judges decision in this abbreviated bout. 23:2

They're going to stop the fight. There are more than 3 rounds in the book, so that means we'll be going to the scorecards. Points will be tallied as of the last completed round. We'll have to await the judges decision in this abbreviated bout. 23:2

Re: LHW Season Week 11 7-12 & WBO belt
There is NOOOOOOO way a shitcan bum like Crumble could go ten rounds with Johnny Frankham, who was a British and Commonwealth champion.
Re: LHW Season Week 11 7-12 & WBO belt
Crumbles record...wasn't he just that? Hung in but could never win?
Re: LHW Season Week 11 7-12 & WBO belt
They don't score the last round when the fight is stopped? Good old Donny was about to get KO'd and tried to steal one....
Re: LHW Season Week 11 7-12 & WBO belt
geto.....I'm using WBA rules under WBA champ fight cards...for the whole card same with all the other sanctioning bodies..(when I remember lol) In this case WBO....so rules change.
