In Liles's favor, the bleeding isn't flowing into either of his eyes. 4:0
0:51 * The doctor is peering at the wound and he's shrugged his shoulders and he's shaking his head - is that a good thing or bad? Well, it's good from Liles's perspective and the cheer that arises from the crowd tells us all we need to know: there's going to be more fisticuffs in just a moment.

0:24 * What was once just a trickle of blood is much more noticeable now as Liles's face looks like it lost a fight with a razor blade. It's a good thing that the bleeding isn't over an eye or this fight would be in jeopardy. And it still may be, as Referee Florian has now halted the contest and is leading Liles toward the ring doctor's position to get a second opinion on the severity of the bleeding. 2:2
0:29 * Referee Florian is calling a halt to this fight. * Frankie Liles is bloody mess, the cut over his eye has gotten to bad to allow this fight to continue. Calzaghe wins by a TKO! 2:2

Fight of the season from Bell & Jirov there!

Fight of the season from Bell & Jirov there!

That was a read and a half!

I don't see how the Sim has made Jirov's chin this bad, but it makes for a Hell of a read every time!

[armageto]

Jirov is really struggling to win "The big one". He just seems to find a way to lose an exciting fight, or get a draw.

Calzaghe seems to get cut too much in this season. Good fight with him and Liles though. Rematch down the line.

One of us has got to take Bell out!

[BoxBuzz]

Looks like the best man bled in the Calzaghe vs Liles fight.

They both brought the pasta sauce.

[BoxBully]

even though Leonard lost, he gave Jones a good fight. Round totals were exactly the same, 1 knock down each well that settles it. Thanks for the shot

Actually I think the one judge was racist against my fighter
