0:54 Dunne is trying to regroup after those punches... 4:3
01:11 Look out! That was a straight right by McGovern! 8:3
01:11 Dunne is hurt and he had better reach deep if he's going to continue! 8:3
01:20 Both fighters are being extremely cautious in this one. We hadn't expected such a tactical battle. 8:3
01:23 Dunne rocks McGovern with a short uppercut to the jaw from inside. 8:6
01:23 And now McGovern is bleeding again from that last punch as his previous cut has been reopened. 8:6
01:23 The claret begins flowing again from the gash outside McGovern's right eyebrow. 8:6
01:23 * The referee appears to be jockeying for position; he's moving more than the fighters. Apparently, he wants to get a better look at the cut above McGovern's eye. Now, he just steps in and stops the action. Garza is escorting McGovern over to the ringside doctor to get an opinion on the severity of the cut. 8:6
01:23 * The doctor is peering at the wound and he's shrugged his shoulders and he's shaking his head - is that a good thing or bad? Well, it's good from McGovern's perspective and the cheer that arises from the crowd tells us all we need to know: there's going to be more fisticuffs in just a moment. Obviously, the damage isn't that bad and McGovern and Dunne await the signal from the referee to commence firing. The fight resumes here in Round 4. 8:6
01:38 Dunne delivers a cross to the nose of McGovern. 8:9
01:38 And now McGovern is bleeding even more profusely from that last punch as his cut worsens! 8:9
01:38 McGovern's gash outside his right eyebrow has worsened here in Round 4. The blood is once more flowing freely. 8:9
01:38 * The fighters jockey back and forth and now the referee is going to use this opportunity to step in and call timeout. He's taking McGovern by the arm and leading him to the far ropes where the ringside physician can take a look at the cut above McGovern's eye. 8:9
01:43 * The Referee has stopped this fight. * McGovern is bloody mess, the cut over his eye has gotten to bad to allow this fight to continue. Dunne wins by a TKO! 8:9
Fight Result
Let's go to Damian Pinto for the call...
Ladies and Gentlemen! The winner by technical knockout at the 01:44 mark in Round 4 is...
Bernard Dunne!
