0:13 * 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.

2:12 Looks like that shot has widened David Haye's cut because the flow of blood seems to be increasing. 9:5

2:12 * The fighters move away from each other, creating a bit of distance between them. Now the referee has called timeout, halting the action. He's leading Haye to the ringside physician. The cut over Haye's eye seems to be the primary cause for concern. 9:5
2:16 * Neumann is halting this fight. He steers Haye to his corner and calls the ring doctor. The ring doctor is taking a close look at it... Haye's corner is pleading with Neumann.* No! Neumann waves it off. The fight is over! The doctor is not going to let it continue. The winner by TKO is Schmeling! 9:5
