2:48 * 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. Referee Jen-Kin is indicating exactly that - the bout is going to continue; and both fighters are getting ready to start punching again. 17:13
3:00 Lamon Brewster looks to land a hook but misses the mark. 17:13
3:00 Fans appreciate a fine display of boxing but as that last round proved nothing gets them going like a knockdown. 16:13
