He got to a knee quickly and rose to his feet at the count of eight. Guerrero was sent to a knee in the final seconds of Round 2 from a right hand and again got up at the count of eight. By the end of the round, he was bleeding heavily from a cut to his right eyelid. In round three, Guerrero was sent to a knee and was struggling with the cut. The referee, without beginning a count, paused the action to allow the ringside physician to view the cut. Guerrero indicated he could continue.

Guerrero got to a knee but remained there, bleeding heavily, as referee Michael Griffin finally reached the count of ten.
