0:51 * More than once this round, it has appeared as if the referee has thought about stepping between the fighters due to the increased bleeding from at least one cut on Wlodarczyk's face. Now the third man in the ring is doing just that, as we get a stoppage in the action while the referee leads Wlodarczyk toward the ringside doctor for a quick consultation. In Wlodarczyk's favor, the bleeding isn't flowing into either of his eyes. 2:0
0:56 * The Referee has stopped the fight and leads Wlodarczyk to the ringside doctor. The doctor is up on the apron and doing a thorough examination of Wlodarczyk's cut.* No! Perez Pineda waves it off. The fight is over! The doctor is not going to let it continue. The winner by TKO is Ward! 2:0

Fight Result

Jake Gutierrez has the call...

Ladies and Gentlemen! The end comes at the 0:57 mark in Round 7. Your winner by TKO is..

Andre Ward!

Froch sure came in flat in that rematch, very disappointing.

Good win for Ottke over Huck. Huck did his best, and now will seek other goals outside of the WTF Title.

Jirov just can't win the big fight this season or catch a break.Gave Jones all he could handle in two fights and comes away with a draw and cuts stoppage.....

[armageto]

Froch sure came in flat in that rematch, very disappointing.

Third fight down the line.......
