0:18 Root has once again become bloodied, as the gash above his right eyebrow has, apparently, reopened. 0:4
0:18 * Root 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.

0:22 * The Referee has halted this fight. He leads Root to the corner and motions for the ring physician. The ring doctor is examining it...
