1:39 No wonder he's pawing at his eye. Blood has to be flowing into it from the gash that is now clearly seen above his left eye. 19:3
1:39 * Norris seems to be having some difficulty seeing. It's not that he's bleeding all that badly but the location of the cut - over the eye - makes it a bit more serious. And talk about timing, the referee has stepped in and momentarily stopped the fight. He's looking at the cut above Norris's eye and is now leading him toward the ringside physician. 19:3
1:39 * 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 Norris'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. Obviously, the damage isn't that bad and Norris and Liles await the signal from the referee to commence firing. The fight resumes here in Round 11. 19:3

2:25 Liles swings...and misses. 21:3
2:39 Liles misses wildly with the Hook. 21:3
2:54 Norris clinches nicely... but clinching doesn't score points. 21:3

RJJ and those bloody cuts

Dariusz took a hell of a beating there, Jirov just scored the most conclusive victory in their whole series of fights.

Dariusz took a hell of a beating there, Jirov just scored the most conclusive victory in their whole series of fights.

That caught me by surprise. Usually one of the two scores an early knockdown and the other rallies back.They are 2-2-1 in their series...might as well have one more fight before the end of the season. Maybe week 40?

Calzaghe continues his great season. Perhaps Holyfield next week. At worst, he'll see him in the tourney...
