"Riley landed a hard right to the head of Terranova in the first few seconds of the round that had Terranova on the defensive and badly shaken up..At the midway point of the initial round Terranova received a badly cut eye and nose, which necessitated several stitches after the bout..Terranova went to his corner bleeding profusely (and the referee), acting on the advice of the doctor halted the proceedings.."
