0:47 * Maxie Rosenbloom seems to be having some difficulty seeing. It's not that he's bleeding all that badly but the location of the cut - over the eye - makes it a bit more serious. And talk about timing, the referee has stepped in and momentarily stopped the fight. He's looking at the cut above Rosenbloom's eye and is now leading him toward the ringside physician. 4:5
0:52 * Referee Ritter is stopping this fight. He's calling for the ring doctor. The ring doctor is taking a close look at Rosenbloom... Rosenbloom's corner is pleading its case.* No!
