	Frazier ~~opened a cut under Chuvalo's right eye and had the eye swollen shut by the end of the third round~~.		Frazier was an 11 to 5 betting favorite.

	Frazier ~~hit~~ Chuvalo ~~with~~ a ~~powerful left hook early in~~ the ~~fourth round~~ and ~~Chuvalo turned his back on him~~, ~~forcing the referee~~ to ~~stop~~ the ~~fight 16 seconds into~~ the ~~round~~.		Frazier opened a cut under Chuvalo's right eye. Mark Kram of ''[[Sports Illustrated]]'' reported: "The cut was shaped like a scimitar and it went to the bone (later it was discovered that the bone was broken, requiring surgery), and the eye, seemingly ready to burst, was just a slit. There was another cut on the outside of his left eye, and a gash on the top of his scalp."

	~~Frazier fractured~~ Chuvalo's ~~orbital bone under~~ his right eye ~~so badly that~~ Chuvalo ~~needed reconstructive surgery~~. "I thought my eyeball had been knocked out," said Chuvalo.		Mark Kram further reported: "The fight was supposed to be a war, but it never had time to develop. By the second round, Chuvalo's face was smeared with blood as hook after hook banged into the right side of his rocklike head. Between the second and third rounds, the face turned purple. The third was Chuvalo's best round, but still he did not win it. ... Chuvalo's right eye was closed when he came out for the fourth and, as he said later, he was dizzy. Two heavy hooks by Frazier ended the fight after 16 seconds, Chuvalo turning his back on Frazier and groping for his corner. A blood vessel leading to his eyelid had erupted. 'I thought my eyeball had been knocked out.' said Chuvalo."

	It was the ~~first time~~ Chuvalo was ~~stopped~~.		Chuvalo later said his right eye was injured when he fought Archie Ray on June 22, 1967. Chuvalo said Ray's head accidentally collided into his cheek bone. "My eye was swelling up, and I went back into the gym and started sparring too soon, and my eye kept blowing up in the gym," Chuvalo explained. "So when I fought Joe, I was damaged goods."
