And talk about timing, the referee has stepped in and momentarily stopped the fight. He's looking at the cut above Moorer's eye and is now leading him toward the ringside physician. 0:2
0:39 * The ringside doctor is dabbing at the blood, trying to determine the severity of the wound. He's saying something to the referee and from the reaction of Moorer, it must be positive. Yep, this fight's going to continue as both fighters receive instructions to resume the mayhem here in round 6. 0:2
0:52 Moorer picks off the uppercut by Norfolk. 0:2
0:59 Moorer lands a devastating uppercut! 4:2
0:59 Moorer has Norfolk hurt badly, he is just trying to hang on right now!! 4:2
01:12 A lead left scores big for Michael Moorer. He stunned Norfolk with that one. 7:2
01:26 Norfolk is holding. Well, he can't get hit if Moorer can't throw punches, I guess. 7:2
01:38 Champion pries them apart. 7:2
01:43 * Norfolk is told to watch the low blows by Champion. 7:5
02:01 There's some nice hand speed. Norfolk fired off a volley of shots, several of which scored. 7:7
02:01 And now Moorer is bleeding even more profusely from that last punch as his cut worsens! 7:7
02:01 That cut on Michael Moorer's left eyebrow is bleeding worse than before and he's got to be aware that it could reach a point where it could have a very negative affect on his ability to defend himself. 7:7
02:01 * Blood is trickling from the cut over Moorer'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 Champion is notifying the timekeeper to stop the clock. He wants the doctor at ringside to take a look at Moorer's facial wound. 7:7
02:05 * 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 3. The referee has momentarily stopped the fight. They're going to have the ring side physician take a look at it. Michael Moorer is bleeding badly. The doctor's examining it...he's shaking his head. Moorer is protesting...but that's it! They're going to stop the fight. There are more than 4 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. 7:7
