1:35 * DeJesus 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 DeJesus's eye and is now leading him toward the ringside physician. 5:8
1:39 * The Referee has halted this fight. He leads DeJesus to the corner and motions for the ring physician. The ring doctor is examining it...
