1:33 Blood is running from the gash under the right eye of Pavlik again. 12:2
1:33 * More than once this round, it has appeared as if the referee has thought about stepping between the fighters due to the increased bleeding from at least one cut on Pavlik's face. Now the third man in the ring is doing just that, as we get a stoppage in the action while the referee leads Pavlik toward the ringside doctor for a quick consultation. In Pavlik's favor, the bleeding isn't flowing into either of his eyes. 12:2
1:38 * Salzgeber has stopped the fight and has called for the ringside physician. Pavlik pleads his case as the doctor takes a very close look at his cut.* No! Salzgeber waves it off. The fight is over! The doctor is not going to let it continue. The winner by TKO is Langford! 12:2

Re: MW Season Week 31 fights 7-12
Solid wins for Steele and Duran. Didn't have the time to really match them this week, but those guys are even tougher outs than some managed fighters probably. Both guys earned their wins this week.
