Round 13
Time Commentary Points
0:00 Cappuccino motions the fighters together as the bell sounds to begin Round 13. 0:0
0:08 A minute wasn't enough to eliminate or even significantly reduce Gibbons's swelling. They'll have to keep a close watch on it and make sure Gibbons's vision doesn't become a major problem over the next few rounds. 0:0

01:21 Blood is running from the lip of Gibbons again. 2:12
01:21 * As the two fighters back away a step, you can see blood on the chest and shoulder of Choynski but it's not his. Gibbons is bleeding a bit more heavily now and even though the damage isn't over an eye, apparently the referee wants a stop in the action to have Gibbons examined by the ringside doctor. 2:12
01:21 * After some dabbing and swabbing and talking to the fighter, the doctor has concluded that the fight needn't be stopped. He's going to allow the action to continue. The referee is pointing to where he wants Gibbons to stand and motioning for Choynski to back up a little. Now Cappuccino is calling time-in, and this fight is going to get back underway here in Round 13. 2:12

Close fight. Choynski did better than I thought but he was always up against it.

Congrats to Mr Buzz and Gibbons.

Gibbons needed the KO...or it was headed for a draw. But he pulled it off in the final reel.
