2:13 The gash on the right eyebrow of Drozd has reopened and heavy bleeding has ensued. This isn't going to make the fight any easier for him. 8:9
2:13 It's early in the fight and Drozd knows his cut could develop in a real problem in subsequent rounds. 8:9
2:13 * 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 Drozd's eye. Now, he just steps in and stops the action. Langos is escorting Drozd over to the ringside doctor to get an opinion on the severity of the cut. 8:9
2:13 * 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 Drozd'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.

2:02 It looks like Haye has reopened Drozd's previous wound because Grigory Drozd is now bleeding once again. 3:13
2:02 The gash suffered by Grigory Drozd on his eyebrow has reopened and once again the blood is flowing into the fighter's eye. 3:13
2:02 * Drozd's pawing at his eye and there may be some blood trickling into that eye from the cut above it. The referee must have noticed because we have a stop in the action as Langos motions toward the ringside physician. They're going to take a close look at the cut. 3:13
2:07 * Referee Langos stops this fight. He guides Drozd to the corner, motioning for the ring doctor. The ring doctor is examining the cut... Drozd's corner is pleading its case with Langos.* They want Drozd to be allowed to at least finish the round. The Referee is waving it off. It's over! The doctor is not going to let it continue. The winner by TKO due to the severity of the cuts - Haye! 3:13

Nelson definitely benefitted from the 10 round distance. Hopefully the Rubber match is scheduled for 12.

Why don't we make it a special one-off 15 rounder... Seeing as it's the trilogy fight?

That should separate the men from the boys.

Froch should have joined the Silver Six at this rate.....

He's had solid success without any of that stuff. He would've beaten Johnny Nelson too if not for it being a 10 rounder.

I'd like that. Maybe The Commish would accomodate us on that.
