01:21 Strickland's got blood streaming into his right eye again as the gash above it has reopened here in round 5. 10:2
01:21 * 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 Strickland by the arm and leading him to the far ropes where the ringside physician can take a look at the cut above Strickland's eye. 10:2
01:25 * The Referee has stopped the fight and leads Strickland to the ringside doctor. The doctor is up on the apron and doing a thorough examination of [FtrB]'s cut.* And on the advice of the doctor Smoger is stopping the fight!
