1:43 * The two fighters are circling one another. Ross looks like he's trying to target the bleeding that has become much more noticeable on the face of Chavez. The referee has also taken a sudden interest in the claret flowing down the face of Chavez and we're going to get a temporary - at least we hope it will be - halt in the action. The referee has called time and wants the doc at ringside to take a close look at Chavez's injury. Fortunately, none of the bleeding is above the fighter's eyes or matters would be much more serious. 18:2
1:43 * The ringside physician is making a thorough examination of the cut, after having cleared away some of the blood. He's dabbing at the wound again and from the way all three participants, doctor, ref and fighter, are nodding their heads, it looks like this contest is going to get back underway.

1:20 * There's a sudden halt in the action and we're not sure why. Oh, apparently there's some concern on the part of Referee Ramirez about the amount of blood on the face of Chavez. Even though the damage isn't over either of Chavez's eyes, it's been deemed serious enough to have the ringside physician at least look at it. 4:0
1:20 * 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 Chavez'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.

0:13 The gash under Chavez's right eye is bleeding again. 5:0
0:13 * More than once this round, it has appeared as if the referee has thought about stepping between the fighters due to the increased bleeding from at least one cut on Chavez's face. Now the third man in the ring is doing just that, as we get a stoppage in the action while the referee leads Chavez toward the ringside doctor for a quick consultation. In Chavez's favor, the bleeding isn't flowing into either of his eyes. 5:0
0:18 * Referee Ramirez is calling a halt to this fight. He's leading Chavez to the corner and calling for the ring doctor. The ring doctor is studying the cut... Chavez's corner is pleading its case.* And on the advice of the doctor Ramirez is stopping the fight! Chavez's cuts are just too severe and Ross is the winner by TKO! 5:0

Can't complain on the draw for Duran. I think his season of tough matches is starting to catch up to him, seems to be slowing down some.

Do you think it could have anything to do with the fact that Canzoneri is a good Boxer?

Well it was a great fight anyway and Canzoneri's 3rd Draw in a row

I'm not trying to discredit Canzoneri at all. I just think overall Duran has slowed down some regardless of this fight.

oh, okay, but if that were the case, wouldnt it say "Fights Too Frequently"? I mean if it were actually affecting his fights

I'm not 100% sure how it all works honestly. Somebody with the software might know? I've seen multiple seasons of the same weight class where one season a fighter bombs, and has a good season the next time. I've seen guys start hot and fade in a season as well as the reverse. I have to imagine that a fighter goes thru swings and such, momentum, etc.

[BoxBuzz]

I think the degree of chance, is not all that far off from life. IF the skill levels are properly assigned.

So...it's a crap shoot, where almost anything can play out in any single fight, but over the long run it kinda sorta builds a sensible picture.

It's not like there are any totaly weird records being compiled by any fighter.


Although JLC does seem a bit lamer than I would have expected.
