2:05 Duran momentarily stuns McFarland with that last shot and it looks like Duran is going to receive some added benefit from the punch because the blood is flowing much more freely from McFarland's cut. 9:2
2:05 That cut on McFarland's right eyebrow is bleeding worse than before and he's got to be aware that it could reach a point where it could have a very negative affect on his ability to defend himself. 9:2
2:05 * Pabon is taking a close look at the blood trickling down McFarland'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 McFarland's face, especially the cut above the eye. 9:2

2:33 * 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 McFarland by the arm and leading him to the far ropes where the ringside physician can take a look at the cut above McFarland's eye. 14:4
2:37 * Pabon is halting this fight. He steers McFarland to his corner and calls the ring doctor. The ring doctor is taking a close look at it... Packey McFarland's corner is pleading with Pabon.* They want McFarland to be allowed to at least finish the round. The Referee is waving it off. It's over! The doctor is not going to let it continue.
