02:31 * Cappuccino is taking a close look at the blood trickling down Tunney'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 Tunney's face, especially the cut above the eye. 11:7

02:31 * Cappuccino is taking a close look at the blood trickling down Tunney'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 Tunney's face, especially the cut above the eye. 11:7
