Round 10
Time Commentary Points
0:00 As the bell sounds for the final round, it looks as if the scorecards will determine the outcome of this fight. 0:0

0:11 * 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 Baer'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 Baer toward the ringside doctor for a quick consultation. In Baer's favor, the bleeding isn't flowing into either of his eyes. 2:0
0:16 * Assimenios has stopped the fight and has called for the ringside physician. Baer pleads his case as the doctor takes a very close look at his cut.* No! Assimenios waves it off. The fight is over! The doctor is not going to let it continue. The winner by TKO is Holyfield! 2:0
