1:19 Les Darcy has once again become bloodied, as the gash above his left eyebrow has, apparently, reopened. 2:5
1:19 * Darcy 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 Darcy's eye and is now leading him toward the ringside physician. 2:5
1:24 * Referee Abainza halts this fight. * This one is over! Darcy is unable to continue due to the severity of the cut over his eye. Norris gets the TKO victory! 2:5

1:50 * Scott is taking a close look at the blood trickling down Erislandy Lara's face; and now he steps in and stops the contest. Apparently, he wants the doctor to take a look at the damage done to Lara's face, especially the cut above the eye. 6:3
1:55 * There doesn't seem to be any doubt that cut was caused by the accidental head butt in Round 5. 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. With more than 4 rounds completed we'll be going to the scorecards. The scores are being added up and we'll have to await the decision. 6:3
