0:38 * The two fighters are circling one another. Tarver looks like he's trying to target the bleeding that has become much more noticeable on the face of Marvin Camel. The referee has also taken a sudden interest in the claret flowing down the face of Camel and we're going to get a temporary - at least we hope it will be - halt in the action.

Fortunately, none of the bleeding is above the fighter's eyes or matters would be much more serious. 4:0
0:38 * The referee won't stop the fight on his own if the reason for the stoppage directly has to do with a cut or swelling; he'll always consult the ringside doctor. And it looks like, in this case, we're going to see some more boxing because the physician has given his okay to let the fight continue.
