02:06 Cortez motions to both boxers to come together, as he allows the fight to continue. 17:0

03:00 The round's over but the effects of the knockdown on the crowd linger as many of them remain on their feet, shouting their approval of this fight. 25:1
Round 8
Time Commentary Points
0:00 The seconds hurry out of Ajamu's corner as the bell sounds for Round 8. 0:0
0:06 If the swelling was lessened by Ajamu's corner, it wasn't reduced enough to make a big difference. It's going to be a factor in this fight if it continues to worsen. 0:0

02:06 Cortez motions to both boxers to come together, as he allows the fight to continue. 17:0

03:00 The round's over but the effects of the knockdown on the crowd linger as many of them remain on their feet, shouting their approval of this fight. 25:1
Round 8
Time Commentary Points
0:00 The seconds hurry out of Ajamu's corner as the bell sounds for Round 8. 0:0
0:06 If the swelling was lessened by Ajamu's corner, it wasn't reduced enough to make a big difference. It's going to be a factor in this fight if it continues to worsen. 0:0
