In Crumble's favor, the bleeding isn't flowing into either of his eyes. 12:10
02:59 * Referee Nelson is stopping this fight. He's calling for the ring doctor. The ring doctor is taking a close look at Crumble... Crumble's corner is pleading its case.* That's it!

01:14 * 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 Root by the arm and leading him to the far ropes where the ringside physician can take a look at the cut above Root's eye. 5:14
01:14 * 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.

01:40 The gash on the eyelid of Root is really starting to bleed profusely now as additional damage has caused it to widen. That cut could lead to a TKO loss if the bleeding isn't stopped and soon. 5:19
01:40 * The fighters move away from each other, creating a bit of distance between them. Now the referee has called timeout, halting the action. He's leading Root to the ringside physician. The cut over Root's eye seems to be the primary cause for concern. 5:19
01:45 * Referee Gibson halts this fight. * This one is over! Root is unable to continue due to the severity of the cut over his eye. Ketchel gets the TKO victory! 5:19
