Notes

• Rematch of the January 2009 fight which was stopped by the ringside doctor in the 8th round as a result of a cut near the right eye of Truscott. The stoppage was somewhat controversial as replays appeared to show that the cut was caused by an accidental clash of heads.
• During the middle rounds of the fight, Truscott was cut to the right eyebrow and the left eyelid. These cuts caused Truscott's face to be a bloody mask for the rest of the fight.
• Starting in round eight, Truscott’s conditions turned worse, when he had his nose bleeding as well.
• Truscott was given a standing eight-count in round 9.
• The referee had finally seen enough in round 10 and called a halt to the fight.
