Holyfield controlled the action, but after the fifth round, Czyz remained on his stool complaining that he couldn't see properly and claiming that a foreign substance from Holyfield's gloves had gotten into his eyes. Ringside doctor Rufus Sadler examined Czyz and confirmed that he was experiencing a vision problem. Referee Ron Lipton, however, found no evidence of anything illegal. In an extraordinary moment, Lipton even rubbed Holyfield's gloves against his own face while investigating the allegation. Czyz couldn't continue. Holyfield TKO5 Czyz. Just six months later, Holyfield would enter the ring as a huge underdog against Mike Tyson and produce one of the greatest upsets in heavyweight history.

The bout served as a major test in Frazier’s early career development path as an undefeated prospect aiming for a world title shot. Doug Jones was well known for his toughness and for giving a young Cassius Clay (Muhammad Ali) a grueling test in 1963. Facing Frazier followed consecutive losses for Jones against top contenders, and the decisive knockout loss effectively marked the end of his run as a heavyweight contender.
