Round 7
Time Commentary Points

01:07 The cut on Moore's eyelid is widening and as it does the bleeding gets worse and worse. Archie Moore's vision is at least partially obscured and Gavilan has an inviting target. Moore's corner is going to have to get that cut closed between rounds. 2:5
01:07 * Moore'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 Thrasher motions toward the ringside physician. They're going to take a close look at the cut. 2:5
01:07 * 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 7 as the fighters approach one another. 2:5
01:20 Moore traps Gavilan in the corner! 2:5
