02:56 The bad cut on the bridge of Galindez's nose has reopened and the rivulets of blood are streaming down his face. 8:4
02:56 * More than once this round, it has appeared as if the referee has thought about stepping between the fighters due to the increased bleeding from at least one cut on Galindez's face. Now the third man in the ring is doing just that, as we get a stoppage in the action while the referee leads Galindez toward the ringside doctor for a quick consultation. In Galindez's favor, the bleeding isn't flowing into either of his eyes. 8:4
02:56 * 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. And it looks like, in this case, we're going to see some more boxing because the physician has given his okay to let the fight continue. Both fighters are assuming their positions and the timer has restarted here in Round 6 as the fighters approach one another. 8:4
02:56 * And that accidental head butt has resulted Galindez suffering a cut . 8:4
02:56 Maxim has really been letting his hands go. And now it appears as if Galindez's cut is bleeding even worse than before. 8:4
02:56 The bad cut on the bridge of Galindez's nose has worsened and the rivulets of blood are streaming down his face. 8:4
02:56 * As the two fighters back away a step, you can see blood on the chest and shoulder of Maxim but it's not his. Victor Galindez 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 Galindez examined by the ringside doctor. 8:4
03:00 * Referee Alonso is calling a halt to this fight. * This one is over! Galindez is unable to continue due to the severity of the cut over his eye. Maxim gets the TKO victory! 8:4
Fight Result
Jimmy Lennon Jr. has the call...

02:56 * More than once this round, it has appeared as if the referee has thought about stepping between the fighters due to the increased bleeding from at least one cut on Galindez's face.

03:00 * Referee Alonso is calling a halt to this fight. * This one is over! Galindez is unable to continue due to the severity of the cut over his eye. Maxim gets the TKO victory! 8:4
