Round 8:

Replays show it was a clash of heads causing the cut. Jabs from Simpson, but three or four jabs from Truscott. Left hook from Truscott, and the right eye of Truscott is closed with the swelling. Body shot from Simpson, but Truscott coming back with a flurry of his own. Timeout for a doc to have a look at the cut. Called off on the cut, and Simpson grabs another belt on a cut.

Truscott devastated in the corner, especially as it was a clash of heads. Bit gutted for the hometown boy, but since the cut it was inevitable that Simpson would have gone on to win. Tough break for Truscott, but Simpson will get a boost from this.
