0:37 * The referee appears to be jockeying for position; he's moving more than the fighters. Apparently, he wants to get a better look at the cut above Guerrero's eye. Now, he just steps in and stops the action. Russell is escorting Guerrero over to the ringside doctor to get an opinion on the severity of the cut. 3:4
0:42 * That's a nasty looking cut. There doesn't seem to be any doubt that it was caused by the accidental head butt in Round 5. The referee has momentarily stopped the fight. They're going to have the ring side physician take a look at it. Guerrero is bleeding badly. The doctor's examining it...he's shaking his head. Guerrero is protesting...but that's it! They're going to stop the fight. There are more than 4 rounds in the book, so that means we'll be going to the scorecards. Points will be tallied as of the last completed round. We'll have to await the judges decision in this abbreviated bout. 3:4

0:37 * The referee appears to be jockeying for position; he's moving more than the fighters. Apparently, he wants to get a better look at the cut above Guerrero's eye. Now, he just steps in and stops the action. Russell is escorting Guerrero over to the ringside doctor to get an opinion on the severity of the cut. 3:4
0:42 * That's a nasty looking cut. There doesn't seem to be any doubt that it was caused by the accidental head butt in Round 5. The referee has momentarily stopped the fight. They're going to have the ring side physician take a look at it. Guerrero is bleeding badly. The doctor's examining it...he's shaking his head. Guerrero is protesting...but that's it! They're going to stop the fight. There are more than 4 rounds in the book, so that means we'll be going to the scorecards. Points will be tallied as of the last completed round. We'll have to await the judges decision in this abbreviated bout. 3:4
