1:06 * 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 Smith's eye. Now, he just steps in and stops the action. Pabon is escorting Smith over to the ringside doctor to get an opinion on the severity of the cut. 9:8
1:10 * The Referee has halted this fight. He leads Smith to the corner and motions for the ring physician. The ring doctor is examining it... Smith's corner pleads its case.* That's it!
