02:52 * Blood is trickling from the cut over Telesco'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.

02:52 * 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. Referee Jay Referson is indicating exactly that - the bout is going to continue; and both fighters are getting ready to start punching again. 25:3

0:00 David Telesco looks to be in fair shape as Round 5 gets underway. 0:0

01:08 And now it appears as if Telesco's cut has been reopened by one of those punches that landed. 9:4
01:08 Once again the blood from the gash on the inside of Telesco's right eyebrow begins to stream down his face as the bad cut he suffered earlier has reopened. 9:4
01:08 * The fighters jockey back and forth and now the referee is going to use this opportunity to step in and call timeout. He's taking Telesco by the arm and leading him to the far ropes where the ringside physician can take a look at the cut above David Telesco's eye. 9:4
01:12 * It looks like the ringside physician is asking Jay Referson to stop the fight so he can examine Telesco's cut. The doctor is really taking a close look at it and Telesco can not like the expression on his face.* And on the advice of the doctor Jay Referson is stopping the fight! Telesco's cuts are just too severe and Greb is the winner by TKO! 9:4

Fight Result

Here's Jeff Connor with the call...

The curse of the cut strikes again, this time for Bivens. Tough way to lose, but great win for DM. One of this season's pleasant surprises.

Valant comeback effort from EMM, after the train wreck of the first round. Right man seemed to have won.

Solid, but expected wins for Johnson & Greb.

I'm afraid in Battling Bivin's case the cuts were due to another "glove wrapping" drama. Once in the Spinks affair, and now with Dariusz, it appears that there is a confluence of stakeholders that are consistently conspiring against the Goldenbuzz Galaxy of Stars.. And although there was an attempt to bring justice to the table, the "deep state" of boxing institutional ne'r do wells have succeeded in their legal haranguing to reverse the justice that seemed appropriate. Not because of "lack of evidence" but because that the evidence in question somehow "evaporated"....as if it never existed.

But hard work in the gym, and a work ethic second to none, will always win in the long haul.


And that's all I have to say about that.
