01:45 The cut on Muhammad's left eyelid has been reopened and it's bleeding as heavily now as it was originally. 12:13
01:45 * Blood is trickling from the cut over Muhammad'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 Gibson is notifying the timekeeper to stop the clock. He wants the doctor at ringside to take a look at Muhammad's facial wound. 12:13
01:45 * The doctor is peering at the wound and he's shrugged his shoulders and he's shaking his head - is that a good thing or bad? Well, it's good from Muhammad's perspective and the cheer that arises from the crowd tells us all we need to know: there's going to be more fisticuffs in just a moment. Obviously, the damage isn't that bad and Muhammad and Knight await the signal from the referee to commence firing. The fight resumes here in Round 8. 12:13

01:45 * The doctor is peering at the wound and he's shrugged his shoulders and he's shaking his head - is that a good thing or bad?

01:10 The claret begins flowing again from the gash outside Mack's right eyebrow. 2:5
01:10 * The referee appears to be jockeying for position; he's moving more than the fighters. Apparently, he wants to get a better look at the cut above Mack's eye. Now, he just steps in and stops the action. Thrasher is escorting Mack over to the ringside doctor to get an opinion on the severity of the cut. 2:5
