dodson/moraga doctor stoppage?

If there is active bleeding or a cut that cannot be closed, the fight is supposed to be stopped by the ringside physician.

The physician told there ref "One minute, I'll look at it," because they only have one minute to attend to the fighter between rounds. He isn't saying I'll give him a minute and check or it or I'll monitor him for a minute, he is saying his minute is up, I am going to check if he is ready to go. At the point he checks and sees there is still active bleeding and therefore tells the referee "It's over," ending the fight by doctor's stoppage.

Where is this active bleeding? There was basically no bleeding after the doctor looks at him... and they never really "close" a cut, they just stop the bleeding and jam some vaseline in there. The cut wasn't that bad and it wasn't in a bad place.

Seemed to me that the doc thought Moraga didn't want to continue and called the fight. I would like to hear the talk between Moraga and his corner.
