1:32 Jackson fails to connect with that punch. He pushed it out there instead of cutting loose with it. 8:7
1:43 Larry Holmes's jab falls short, but the cross gets in behind it. 8:9
1:43 * Jackson is bleeding! He's cut! 8:10
1:43 The cut is not too severe from the looks of it; the bleeding is coming from a wound outside his right eyebrow. 8:10
1:43 * And that accidental head butt has resulted Jackson suffering a cut . 8:10
1:43 It looks like the last shot made the cut that Jackson suffered earlier worse. 8:10
1:43 Jackson's gash outside his right eyebrow has worsened here in Round 6. The blood is once more flowing freely. 8:10
1:43 * Blood is trickling from the cut over Jackson'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 Vann is notifying the timekeeper to stop the clock. He wants the doctor at ringside to take a look at Jackson's facial wound. 8:10
1:43 * The ringside physician is making a thorough examination of the cut, after having cleared away some of the blood. He's dabbing at the wound again and from the way all three participants, doctor, ref and fighter, are nodding their heads, it looks like this contest is going to get back underway.

2:41 Holmes momentarily stuns Jackson with that last shot and it looks like Holmes is going to receive some added benefit from the punch because the blood is flowing much more freely from Jackson's cut. 8:14
2:41 Now the bleeding from the gash outside Jackson's right eyebrow is flowing even more as the wound has widened. 8:14
2:41 * Jackson 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 Jackson's eye and is now leading him toward the ringside physician. 8:14
2:41 * The referee won't stop the fight on his own if the reason for the stoppage directly has to do with a cut or swelling; he'll always consult the ringside doctor.

2:10 * Vann is taking a close look at the blood trickling down Jackson'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 Jackson's face, especially the cut above the eye. 13:12
2:14 * The blood is just pouring out of Jackson's cut. These fighters clashed heads in Round 6 and that caused the gash. Referee {%RefX] is stopping it and has already ruled it was accidental. Vann The ringside doctor is looking at the cut. And that's it, this one's going to be over. Points will be tallied through the last completed frame as there are 4 rounds in the books!

One of Toney's best all around performances! Shows he's still the best Cruiserweight in this thing. That's why he needed the challenge of the MDT.

Morrison getting a UD over Dempsey is a shocker

Hell yeah! Tommy is a man. A real warrior. It was a massacre, like it always is in his fights, and now he was able to pull out an upset. Credit to Dempsey for giving such a fight. Long live The Duke, the new WBA champ!

Upset win for Tua, but what a fight!

Ezz fighting well but coming up short as he has done so many times before this season. So frustrating.

Given that he is on a three fight losing streak, is Ezz eligible for Morrison's title next week? Would be kinda funny if he won, considering.

I'm just so surprised that Jirov Beats Schmeling....imagine that. Who'da thunk it.....

Tua, Jirov, Morrison all with surprising upsets. That's why you have to love the MDT format!!

Jackson was over-trained, so might have been lucky the fight was stopped early. A really good win for him none the less. High probability he advances to the next round too, but not out of the woods just yet.


I guess Jeffries really was disgusted that the 13th round began! Good effort from Charles, he just got caught. Jeffries advances to the next stage. Too bad the Dempsey fight won't be for a belt, thanks to Morrison....

Everybody is title eligible in the MDT, unless it is a CPU/CW belt. Then they have to qualify for it.

The fickle finger of fate stepped in to this to hand the author of this tourney a mixed outcome.

Well......that and the fact that the commish won't allow a single fight outside of the Detroit district in deference to said criminal. Had Schmeling and Jirov fought in Germany things would have been different. The collusion going on is that our beloved commish does not allow for non Detroit based fights. This lack of flexibility is appalling.

No Collusion you say? Seriously.....here is the list of suspect dynamics that played against the GBP galaxy of stars this week.

1. Detroit is the place where the tourney author hails from.
2. Frazier home away from Phlly was.....where else? Detroit. A favorite haunt of his. Detroit asphalt.
3.Joe Louis was beaten by Max Schmeling, and Detroit fans have never gotten over it. So Jirov's and Joe's gloves were clearly padded with Detroit asphalt.

We will be filing a grievance with an arbitrator to have both of the fights ruled as "No Contest".

A huge upset! But what can we say???

Foreman was dominated from the opening bell and eventually sparked clean out.

No excuses but we'll be looking to rerun this one down the line
