2:49 * More than once this round, it has appeared as if the referee has thought about stepping between the fighters due to the increased bleeding from at least one cut on Klitschko's face. Now the third man in the ring is doing just that, as we get a stoppage in the action while the referee leads Vitali Klitschko toward the ringside doctor for a quick consultation. In Klitschko's favor, the bleeding isn't flowing into either of his eyes. 8:29
2:49 * 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. Referee Florian is indicating exactly that - the bout is going to continue; and both fighters are getting ready to start punching again. 8:29
2:54 * Klitschko has no chance now.Florian pulls Frazier off of Klitschko and he's stopping the fight!! Joe Frazier is the winner by TKO here in the 10th round! 8:29
