0:11 Jackson appears to be stunned! 0:5

1:16 Nelson has emerged bloodied, as the gash outside his right eyebrow has, apparently, reopened. 4:14
1:16 * Blood is trickling from the cut over Nelson'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 Griffin is notifying the timekeeper to stop the clock. He wants the doctor at ringside to take a look at Nelson's facial wound. 4:14
1:16 * Well, after talking a long look at Nelson's face, the ringside physician has indicated to the referee that the bout can continue. The third man in the ring is going to position both fighters where he wants them and get the action started again here in Round 7. 4:14
1:29 Nelson absorbs a cross to the body. 6:14
1:33 Johnny Nelson's swelling isn't getting any better; as a matter of fact it's even more swollen here in round 7. 6:14

1:43 Johnny Nelson looks like he was hurt by that punch! 10:14

2:10 Jackson's left eye now appears to be somewhat swollen. 10:16
2:23 Nelson likes to use the hook but he'd better get a little closer when he throws it or Jackson's going to beat him to the punch and hurt him! 10:18
2:35 Nelson slides into a neutral corner... 10:18
2:35 Jackson pops a jab home. That punch didn't hurt but it still scored points. 12:18
2:35 Jackson momentarily stuns Nelson with that last shot and it looks like Peter Jackson is going to receive some added benefit from the punch because the blood is flowing much more freely from Nelson's cut. 12:18
2:35 Nelson's gash outside his right eyebrow has worsened here in Round 7. The blood is once more flowing freely. 12:18
2:35 * Griffin is taking a close look at the blood trickling down Nelson'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 Nelson's face, especially the cut above the eye. 12:18
2:40 * Griffin is halting this fight. * It's all over, the cut over Nelson's eye is in terrible shape and he will not be able to continue! The winner by TKO Jackson! 12:18

Toney performed well against Holmes. Came up just a little short, but I'm proud of his effort, and I'm glad to see he came into the Tournament in his finest form.

Charles was too much for Dempsey, and yet somehow......Dempsey gets the scorecard win. It's time for an investigation...….and then an investigation of the investigation.

Who's investigating the investigators in said investigations though? Perhaps we need an investigation into that? And then wire taps on all the investigators investigations into the investigation.

Jeffries opens the tourney in good style.

Jackson won as I supposed he would against Nelson.

Toney put forth a solid effort in defeat.

Too bad the Dempsey/Charles ended a little early.
