Stanza

Hi,

"However, Chisora started well, demonstrating good head movement in the first round and landing with a couple of looping right hands, although Klitschko did begin to find his range towards the end of the opening stanza." [BBC web site.]

That's a paragraph from a boxing fight. How come that the word "stanza" which describes an arrangement of the poem is used in such a context.

Thank you.
