0:28 * 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 Spinks by the arm and leading him to the far ropes where the ringside physician can take a look at the cut above Michael Spinks's eye. 5:2
0:33 * Clancy is halting this fight. He steers Spinks to his corner and calls the ring doctor. The ring doctor is taking a close look at it...
