2:26 It's early in the fight and Griffith knows his cut could develop in a real problem in subsequent rounds. 2:6
2:26 * Griffith 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 Griffith's eye and is now leading him toward the ringside physician. 2:6
2:26 * 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.

2:26 * 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.

Re: MW Season week 25 fights 11-14(MGM)
Steele coming in over trained killed him in the end. Another fight he blew.
I thought Robinson/Hopkins was a draw. It was close, but I can't see how 2 judges had Hopkins clearly ahead. I thought it was a pretty easy fight to score.
I thought they would have to judge the round the fight was stopped on a cut? Duran should have had the W, again. Rough fantasy season for him.
Disappointing week.
