01:31 * Czyz's pawing at his eye and there may be some blood trickling into that eye from the cut above it. The referee must have noticed because we have a stop in the action as Nelson motions toward the ringside physician. They're going to take a close look at the cut. 9:0

02:26 * Burns seems to be having some difficulty seeing. It's not that he's bleeding all that badly but the location of the cut - over the eye - makes it a bit more serious. And talk about timing, the referee has stepped in and momentarily stopped the fight. He's looking at the cut above Tommy Burns's eye and is now leading him toward the ringside physician. 15:6
02:30 * Referee Earle stops this fight. He guides Burns to the corner, motioning for the ring doctor. The ring doctor is examining the cut... Burns's corner is pleading its case with Earle.* And on the advice of the doctor Earle is stopping the fight! Burns's cuts are just too severe and Cleverly is the winner by TKO! 15:6

Fight Result

And here with the call is Henry Jones
