2:44 Warring takes a punishing over hand left to the jaw! 17:2
2:44 What a devastating shot, Warring looks like he is out on his feet, he has no idea where he is! 17:2
2:44 Jirov has really been letting his hands go. And now it appears as if Warring's cut is bleeding even worse than before. 17:2
2:44 The gash on Warring's eyelid is widening and as it does the blood flows even more freely. Warring's vision is definitely obscured and Jirov has an inviting target. Warring's corner is going to have to get that cut closed between rounds. 17:2
2:44 * Blood is trickling from the cut over Warring's eye; it has to be impairing his vision somewhat and it's definitely bothering him if the amount of blinking he's doing is any indication. And it looks like . . . yes . . . Referee Wright is notifying the timekeeper to stop the clock. He wants the doctor at ringside to take a look at Warring's facial wound. 17:2
2:48 * The Referee has halted this fight. He leads Warring to the corner and motions for the ring physician. The ring doctor is examining it... Warring's corner pleads its case.* The doctor is shaking his head. The fight is over as Wright calls for the bell! Jirov is the winner by TKO as the doctor will not let Warring continue! 17:2

If Jirov isn't getting knocked down 17 times, he takes too long to get going. He's lucky he pulled it out. How one judge gave Warring the 13th round is beyond me......
