2:33 * The fighters move away from each other, creating a bit of distance between them. Now the referee has called timeout, halting the action. He's leading Klitschko to the ringside physician. The cut over Vitali Klitschko's eye seems to be the primary cause for concern. 13:10
2:33 * The referee won't stop the fight on his own if the reason for the stoppage directly has to do with a cut or swelling; he'll always consult the ringside doctor. And it looks like, in this case, we're going to see some more boxing because the physician has given his okay to let the fight continue. Both fighters are assuming their positions and the timer has restarted here in Round 3 as the fighters approach one another. 13:10
