The next fight was a highly anticipated matchup and started out just like most fans had hoped. "Tank" Abbott actually got off a number of his famous haymakers while he exchanged with Wes "Cabbage" Correira. "Cabbage" got the better of those exchanges as he controlled "Tank" in the clinch while he peppered his head with knees and punches.
After a big cut opened up on "Tank's" forehead the doctor was called in to check it. According to John McCarthy, Abbott was telling the doctor he was fine but was having trouble seeing with the blood in his eye. Abbott was upset when the fight was stopped because he thought they would wipe away the blood and let him get back in there. Much to his chagrin, the fight was stopped but not the action.
As "Cabbage" started his victory dance, Abbott's cornerman John Marsh threw water at him and all hell broke loose. After order was restored, "Tank" exited to wild cheers from the crowd. You would have never known he just lost his third fight in a row.
