02:13 That punch may have stunned Muhammad momentarily. 14:4
02:13 And now Muhammad is bleeding again from that last punch as his previous cut has been reopened. 14:4
02:13 There's renewed bleeding now from the gash on the inside of Muhammad's right eyebrow and, obviously, his previous cut has been reopened. 14:4
02:13 * Ritter is taking a close look at the blood trickling down Muhammad's face; and now he steps in and stops the contest. Apparently, he wants the doctor to take a look at the damage done to Muhammad's face, especially the cut above the eye. 14:4
02:17 * The blood is streaming down Muhammad's face, as the ring side Physician steps in to take a look. Ritter has indicated the cut was a result of an accidental Head butt in round 1. After close examination the Doctor is stopping the fight! There are more than 4 rounds in the book, so that means we'll be going to the scorecards. Points will be tallied as of the last completed round. We'll have to await the judges decision in this abbreviated bout. 14:4

Cut off of a jab

What is it about my fighters and 'Cuts' losses...?????

Hank Armstrong had about 10 losses on cuts, last season and this season, Tunney and Choynski have had about the same between them???

Oh well...
