1:50 Cordoba last connect snapped back the head of Belbouli. And it looks like it has reopened Belbouli's cut. 2:14
1:50 Now the bleeding from the gash above Belbouli's right eye has begun to flow again. 2:14
1:50 * Belbouli's pawing at his eye and there may be some blood trickling into that eye from the cut above it. The referee must have noticed because we have a stop in the action as Garza motions toward the ringside physician. They're going to take a close look at the cut. 2:14
1:55 * There doesn't seem to be any doubt that cut was caused by the accidental head butt in Round 9. The referee has stopped the fight and the ring side physician will take a look at it. That's going to be it! They're stopping the fight. Points will be tallied through the last completed frame as there are 4 rounds in the books! It is now in the hands of the officials. 2:14

Jirov pulls another fight out late. He really has to get going earlier. Still, good win for him and he didn't hit the deck, which is always a plus...

To be honest, I thought that Collins was going to tough it out - as he has been doing all season - and maybe come out of it with maybe a draw. But congratulations anyway.

I haven't confirmed the final points tallys for the Groups as of yet, but I think Jirov is safely through.

It was a definite good read. Tough fight for both guys.
