Round 4
Time Commentary Points
0:00 Greb didn't sit in the corner between rounds and he comes out quickly to begin Round 4. 0:0

01:14 And now Rocky Marciano is bleeding even more profusely from that last punch as his cut worsens! 7:12
01:14 The cut on Marciano's eyelid is widening and as it does the bleeding gets worse and worse. Marciano's vision is at least partially obscured and Greb has an inviting target. Marciano's corner is going to have to get that cut closed between rounds. 7:12
01:14 * The fighters jockey back and forth and now the referee is going to use this opportunity to step in and call timeout. He's taking Marciano by the arm and leading him to the far ropes where the ringside physician can take a look at the cut above Marciano's eye. 7:12
01:14 * 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.

02:14 Marciano lands a strong jab! 9:19
02:14 That absolutely rocked Greb, he is on queer street right now!! 9:19
02:19 The swelling around Greb's right eye is getting messy and his vision has to be obscured. 9:19
02:23 Greb lands the right hand. He's pretty effective with that punch when he sets it up right. 11:19
02:23 It looks like the last shot made the cut that Marciano suffered earlier worse. 11:19
02:23 There's a steady stream of blood just running down Marciano's face from the wide open gash on his eyelid. It's no wonder Marciano is fighting with a sense of urgency. He has to know that if the bleeding isn't stopped, the fight might well be... and not in his favor. 11:19
02:23 * Marciano 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 Rocky Marciano's eye and is now leading him toward the ringside physician. 11:19
02:23 * The ringside doctor is dabbing at the blood, trying to determine the severity of the wound. He's saying something to the referee and from the reaction of Marciano, it must be positive. Yep, this fight's going to continue as both fighters receive instructions to resume the mayhem here in round 4. 11:19
02:40 Greb just misses with a huge shot as Marciano chooses the perfect time to suddenly backpedal. 11:19

0:27 * Marciano's pawing at his eye and there may be some blood trickling into that eye from the cut above it. The referee must have noticed because we have a stop in the action as Neumann motions toward the ringside physician. They're going to take a close look at the cut. 4:0
0:32 * There's a signal from the ring side physician as he climbs onto the Apron! Rocky Marciano is bleeding badly. The doctor's examining it...he's shaking his head.
