2:27 * The two fighters are circling one another. Darcy looks like he's trying to target the bleeding that has become much more noticeable on the face of Flowers. The referee has also taken a sudden interest in the claret flowing down the face of Tiger Flowers 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. 6:11
2:27 * The ringside physician is making a thorough examination of the cut, after having cleared away some of the blood. He's dabbing at the wound again and from the way all three participants, doctor, ref and fighter, are nodding their heads, it looks like this contest is going to get back underway.

2:01 Blood streams down the face of Flowers as the gash on the bridge of his nose has, apparently, been reopened. 4:8
2:01 * What was once just a trickle of blood is much more noticeable now as Flowers'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. And it still may be, as Referee Krupenich has now halted the contest and is leading Flowers toward the ring doctor's position to get a second opinion on the severity of the bleeding. 4:8
2:05 * Referee Krupenich halts this fight. * This one is over! Flowers is unable to continue due to the severity of the cut over his eye. Darcy gets the TKO victory! 4:8

More importantly I know who DIDN'T win the fight.

[Crease]

Huge win for Duran which saves his season.

Think it was a wee bit of a fortuitous win for him, but alas - let's not complain to loudly, we all admire Duran and what he done in his career.
(It's a shame that a lot of today's top fighters don't take a leaf out of Roberto's book - he would have fought Godzilla had it been sanctioned).
