Round 3
Time Commentary Points
0:00 Here come the fighters to ring center... 0:0
0:16 Duran just delivered a wake-up call!!! He really caught Ali with a sharp combination! 0:4
0:16 Ali is trying to regain his senses after those punches! 0:4
0:16 * Duran's last punch snapped back the head of Ali. And it looks like it has also drawn blood! 0:5
0:16 Muhammad Ali's cut is in a horrible spot, right on the right eyebrow. The blood has to run into the fighter's eye and it's harder to stop the bleeding when the cut is on and not above or below the eyebrow. 0:5
0:16 Bleeding is part of the fight game and you hate to see it determine the outcome, but when a cut occurs this early in the fight it often plays a part in the decision. Let's face it, judges can be influenced by the sight of blood. 0:5
0:25 Duran got some great advice from Norman Stone between rounds, let's see if he puts it to use here in round 3. 0:5
0:31 Duran lands a hard cross! 0:9

01:57 Duran is still trying to find the range with his punches. He's just missing with some of his shots. 4:13
02:09 Muhammad Ali lands the right hand. He's pretty effective with that punch when he sets it up right. 6:13
02:18 There's some nice hand speed. Duran fired off a volley of shots, several of which scored. 6:15
02:22 Ali's left eye looks like it may have a bit of swelling starting. 6:15
02:32 Duran keeps looking to get inside on Ali 6:15
02:37 Duran's jab is fast and accurate. 6:17
02:37 And now Ali is bleeding even more profusely from that last punch as his cut worsens! 6:17
02:37 Ali's corner better be at its best between rounds because Ali's cut has definitely worsened here in Round 3. It's a steady dripping of blood that's running into the fighter's eye and obscuring his vision. 6:17
02:37 It's early in the fight and Ali knows his cut could develop in a real problem in subsequent rounds. 6:17
02:37 * 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 Ali to the ringside physician. The cut over Ali's eye seems to be the primary cause for concern. 6:17
02:37 * 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 Drakulich is indicating exactly that - the bout is going to continue; and both fighters are getting ready to start punching again. 6:17
02:59 Ali is off target with that jab. 6:17
03:00 And there's the bell ending Round 3. 6:19

0:06 Muhammad Ali's corner gave his cut on the right eyebrow priority during the minute off and they've done an excellent job of closing the wounds. 0:0

0:14 Ali rips off two quick jabs and one finds the mark. 2:0
0:23 Both fighters are being extremely cautious in this one. We hadn't expected such a tactical battle. 2:0

01:02 Ali wraps up Duran... Neither fighter will break... 4:4
01:14 Referee Drakulich separates the two... 4:4
01:27 Ali connects with a violent jab! 8:4

02:05 Ali fires a solid combination. 10:4
02:05 Duran staggers backwards after that clash of heads onside. 10:4
02:23 Considering the clinch Duran has on Ali it looks like he wants to dance with him, not fight him. Ali pushes him away. 10:4
02:28 The Referee breaks it up... 10:4
02:32 Ali sends the sweat flying with that cross to the head of Duran. 13:4
02:41 Ali goes to the head and the body, though neither punch had much on it. 15:4
02:55 Duran is challenging Ali to fight him and quit clinching. 15:4
03:00 The fighters separate after a clinch. 15:4
03:00 And another stanza comes to a close with the bell. 15:3

Round 5
Time Commentary Points
0:00 Duran didn't sit in the corner between rounds and he comes out quickly to begin Round 5. 0:0
0:11 Both fighters are pawing with the jab, trying to find an opening. Duran digs a quick hook into the exposed side of Ali. 0:2
0:20 Janks Morton seemed to pump up Ali between rounds. 0:2
0:27 That punch actually went behind Ali's head as he moved inside of a looping shot from Duran. 0:2
0:36 Duran snaps Ali's head back with a jolting uppercut. 0:5
0:50 Ali cuts loose with a combination and the crowd roars, but the truth is none of those punches landed. Duran had his elbows tucked in nicely. 0:5
0:57 Duran lands a crushing cross! 0:9
0:57 That's the punch Duran hoped to land! Ali looks to be in bad shape after that blow! 0:9

01:13 Duran dips as if to launch a body shot, then goes upstairs with a quick hook to the head that puts Ali back on his heels! 0:14
01:13 Ali is badly hurt! 0:14
01:13 And now it appears as if Ali's cut has been reopened by one of those punches that landed. 0:14
01:13 Additional punishment has caused the cut on the right eyebrow of Ali to reopen and a stream of blood is trickling down his face. 0:14
01:13 * 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 Ali's eye. Now, he just steps in and stops the action. Drakulich is escorting Ali over to the ringside doctor to get an opinion on the severity of the cut. 0:14
01:13 * 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 5 as the fighters approach one another. 0:14
01:32 Ali throws a straight right that glances off the shoulder of Duran but it's enough to keep him off-balance. 0:14

02:30 * Ali is leaning on the back of Roberto Duran's neck and Drakulich has seen enough as he issues a warning. 0:23
02:44 Ali takes a hook as he tries to work inside. 0:25
02:48 The swelling under Ali's left eye can't get much worse, as it has now ballooned substantially. 0:25
03:00 Ali smothers Duran's attack as Duran tries to get off some shots inside. 0:25
03:00 Drakulich motions the fighters to their corners as the bell sounds to end Round 5. 0:26

Round 6
Time Commentary Points
0:00 Ali is getting his full rest as he remains on his stool as the Round 6 bell sounds. Now he's up and his corner scrambles to exit the ring. 0:0
0:08 Ali's corner men did their job with quiet efficiency and confidence. 0:0
0:08 Ali's corner men does a nice job on Ali's cut on the right eyebrow. You wouldn't even know that Ali had suffered a cut by looking at him now. 0:0

0:22 Muhammad Ali will be battling two opponent's now - Duran and his own blood as a reopened gash on his eyebrow drips blood into his eye and affects his vision. 0:4
0:22 * 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 Ali by the arm and leading him to the far ropes where the ringside physician can take a look at the cut above Ali's eye. 0:4
0:27 * Referee Drakulich stops this fight. He guides Ali to the corner, motioning for the ring doctor. The ring doctor is examining the cut... Ali's corner is pleading its case with Drakulich.* No! Drakulich waves it off. The fight is over! The doctor is not going to let it continue. The winner by TKO is Duran! 0:4
