Round 8
Time Commentary Points

02:04 * 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 Moorer's eye. Now, he just steps in and stops the action. Cotton is escorting Moorer over to the ringside doctor to get an opinion on the severity of the cut. 10:4
02:04 * The ringside doctor is dabbing at the blood, trying to determine the severity of the wound. He's saying something to the referee and from the reaction of Moorer, it must be positive.

02:04 * Moorer's pawing at his eye and there may be some blood trickling into that eye from the cut above it. The referee must have noticed because we have a stop in the action as Cotton motions toward the ringside physician. They're going to take a close look at the cut. 10:4
02:04 * 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 Cotton is indicating exactly that - the bout is going to continue; and both fighters are getting ready to start punching again. 10:4

0:06 The cut on the forehead suffered by Moorer has been closed for the time being, thanks to a great job by his cut man. 0:0
0:06 A minute wasn't enough to eliminate or even significantly reduce Michael Moorer's swelling. They'll have to keep a close watch on it and make sure Moorer's vision doesn't become a major problem over the next few rounds. 0:0
0:12 Moorer grabs Lewis again. If this were football, there'd be a penalty flag for holding. 0:0

01:58 It looks like Lewis has reopened Moorer's previous wound because Moorer is now bleeding once again. 3:0
01:58 Moorer is bleeding once again from that bad cut on his forehead. Again, the concern is how badly the blood obscures the fighter's vision and affects both his accuracy and his defense. 3:0
01:58 * Moorer 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 Michael Moorer's eye and is now leading him toward the ringside physician. 3:0
02:02 * Oh boy, the blood is just spurting out of a cut high on Michael Moorer's forehead. The two fighters clashed heads in Round 8 and that must have caused the gash. It was accidental, no question. Cotton is stopping the action. He's motioning for the ring doctor to come look at the cut. Moorer is pawing at the blood. This one's going to be over. Yes, that's it. There are more than 4 rounds in the book, so that means we'll be going to the scorecards. Points will be tallied as of the last completed round. We'll have to await the judges decision in this abbreviated bout. 3:0

Now, he just steps in and stops the action. Viruet is escorting Woods over to the ringside doctor to get an opinion on the severity of the cut. 8:4
01:06 * That's a nasty looking cut. There doesn't seem to be any doubt that it was caused by the accidental head butt in Round 3. The referee has momentarily stopped the fight. They're going to have the ring side physician take a look at it. Woods is bleeding badly. The doctor's examining it...he's shaking his head. Woods is protesting...but that's it! They're going to stop the fight. Points will be tallied as of the last full stanza, because we're having more than 4 rounds in the book!

A few surprises on this card!

Moore loses another fight in the 10th round that he would have won. Tough loss as this fight was all but over and a cut does him in. RJJ has had an up and down start, so this is a huge win for him, regardless how he got it.

Bivens gets a draw vs LaLonde.

Charles goes to a decision with Woods. Granted a butt stopped the fight early, but figured he would have stopped Woods.

Sad to see a fight of that magnitude stopped on a cut, especially when the losing fighter was seemingly on his way to victory. Need to see a rematch between Moore & RJJ asap!

[armageto]

Jones should stay away from the rematch for a few weeks, IMO. He was getting dominated.

Another annoying lose for Archie in a fight he dominated he'll definitely be wanting a rematch some time in the future

Woods figured that too so he was fighting dirty and throwing lots of butts.

A win is a win, but I'm pretty frustrated at the scar tissue caused by this punk. I might have Fitzsimmons straighten him out later in the season, but for now the BrainTrust has bigger fish to fry.

Definitely got away with one there, Roy was in all sorts of trouble in R9 but managed to survive and the luck swung his way in the final three minutes. We will meet again, of course.
