02:05 Kidd's got blood streaming into his right eye again as the gash above it has reopened here in round 8. 4:11
02:05 * Kidd's pawing at his eye and there may be some blood trickling into that eye from the cut above it. The referee must have noticed because we have a stop in the action as Montero motions toward the ringside physician. They're going to take a close look at the cut. 4:11
02:09 * Referee Montero is stopping this fight. * That's it folks. The gash over Kidd's eye is too bad for him to continue. This fight is over. Alvarez is the winner via TKO! 4:11
