1:04 * The referee won't stop the fight on his own if the reason for the stoppage directly has to do with a cut or swelling; he'll always consult the ringside doctor. And it looks like, in this case, we're going to see some more boxing because the physician has given his okay to let the fight continue.

Terrible first round for Jirov. Shame the fight was stopped on cuts, he just got back into it.

Another good fight though! Rubber match is a certainty.
