01:12 * 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 Moorer by the arm and leading him to the far ropes where the ringside physician can take a look at the cut above Moorer's eye. 3:8
01:12 * 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 Moorer'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 Michael Moorer and Maske await the signal from the referee to commence firing. The fight resumes here in Round 7. 3:8

01:59 Maske's nose is bloodied again by Michael Moorer. 18:0
01:59 * What was once just a trickle of blood is much more noticeable now as Maske's face looks like it lost a fight with a razor blade. It's a good thing that the bleeding isn't over an eye or this fight would be in jeopardy. And it still may be, as Referee Kimmons has now halted the contest and is leading Maske toward the ring doctor's position to get a second opinion on the severity of the bleeding. 18:0
01:59 * The referee won't stop the fight on his own if the reason for the stoppage directly has to do with a cut or swelling; he'll always consult the ringside doctor.

0:11 * As the two fighters back away a step, you can see blood on the chest and shoulder of Moorer but it's not his.

0:11 * 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 Maske, it must be positive.

0:17 Knight last connect snapped back the head of Rosenbloom. And it looks like it has reopened Rosenbloom's cut. 0:4
0:17 Now the bleeding from the gash above Rosenbloom's right eye has begun to flow again. 0:4
0:17 * Blood is trickling from the cut over Rosenbloom's eye; it has to be impairing his vision somewhat and it's definitely bothering him if the amount of blinking he's doing is any indication. And it looks like . . . yes . . . Referee Ortega is notifying the timekeeper to stop the clock. He wants the doctor at ringside to take a look at Rosenbloom's facial wound. 0:4
0:22 * Referee Ortega is stopping this fight. * That's all she wrote, folks! The cut over Rosenbloom's eye has just become too bad for him to continue. This fight is history. Knight wins via TKO! 0:4
