1:13 * What was once just a trickle of blood is much more noticeable now as Wajima's face looks like it lost a fight with a razor blade. It's a good thing that the bleeding isn't over an eye or this fight would be in jeopardy.

0:37 * Antuofermo seems to be having some difficulty seeing. It's not that he's bleeding all that badly but the location of the cut - over the eye - makes it a bit more serious. And talk about timing, the referee has stepped in and momentarily stopped the fight. He's looking at the cut above Antuofermo's eye and is now leading him toward the ringside physician. 8:0
0:42 * It looks like the ringside physician is asking Van de Wiele to stop the fight so he can examine Antuofermo's cut.

The doctor is not going to let it continue. The winner by TKO is Hearns! 8:0
