1:02 * 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.

0:08 Ace Miller was extremely upbeat during the break with Holyfield providing some solid encouragement. 0:0

0:15 The claret is dripping again from the cut over Holyfield's eyebrow as the wound has been reopened. 0:2
0:15 * 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 Holyfield's eye. Now, he just steps in and stops the action. Lane is escorting Holyfield over to the ringside doctor to get an opinion on the severity of the cut. 0:2
0:20 * There doesn't seem to be any doubt that cut was caused by the accidental head butt in Round 1. The referee has stopped the fight and the ring side physician will take a look at it. That's going to be it! They're stopping the fight. Points will be tallied through the last completed frame as there are 4 rounds in the books! It is now in the hands of the officials. 0:2

Re: CRW Season Week 31 MDT Final + bonus undercard
Blast! Couple of good fights though. Figured Ward's best chance was the first but he just couldn't quite make up enough rounds at the end to nick it.
Congrats to Evander. Maybe we'll see you again in the Super Six with a bit of luck.

Wow! A couple great fights! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time and then it was a draw! So I was excited for another fight and then Holyfield got cut in the first darn round 
. I was so worried but my man pulled it off. It makes me wonder if the fight went to 15 who would have won. Respect to all the tourny fightersRe: CRW Season Week 31 MDT Final + bonus undercard
