02:00 Conn has emerged bloodied, as the gash outside his right eyebrow has, apparently, reopened. 0:21
02:00 * Billy Conn seems to be having some difficulty seeing. It's not that he's bleeding all that badly but the location of the cut - over the eye - makes it a bit more serious. And talk about timing, the referee has stepped in and momentarily stopped the fight. He's looking at the cut above Conn's eye and is now leading him toward the ringside physician. 0:21
02:00 * The ringside physician is making a thorough examination of the cut, after having cleared away some of the blood. He's dabbing at the wound again and from the way all three participants, doctor, ref and fighter, are nodding their heads, it looks like this contest is going to get back underway.

03:00 Billy Conn took far too many hard shots from Foster in that flurry and he is hurt! 0:32
03:00 There's the bell, finishing Round 4. 0:33
Round 5
Time Commentary Points
0:00 Conn rushes out at the bell. Whatever his corner said to him seems to have him fired up. 0:0
0:05 Conn is ready to go. The cut outside the right eyebrow he suffered won't be a factor at the beginning of the round because his corner man has the bleeding stopped. 0:0

0:35 Now the bleeding from the gash outside Conn's right eye has begun to flow again. 0:2
0:35 * The referee appears to be jockeying for position; he's moving more than the fighters. Apparently, he wants to get a better look at the cut above Conn's eye. Now, he just steps in and stops the action. Neumann is escorting Conn over to the ringside doctor to get an opinion on the severity of the cut. 0:2
0:35 * There must have been an accidental head butt during that clinch that caused that cut. 0:2
0:35 * Referee Neumann stops this fight. He guides Conn to the corner, motioning for the ring doctor. The ring doctor is examining the cut... Conn's corner is pleading its case with Neumann.* No! Neumann waves it off. The fight is over! The doctor is not going to let it continue. The winner by TKO is Foster! 0:2
Fight Result
Here's Ray Connelly with the call...
Ladies and Gentlemen! The winner by technical knockout at the 0:36 mark in Round 5 is...
Bob Foster!
