ROUND 3......

0:00 The bell sounds to start Round 3.
0:07 It's a knowledgeable crowd tonight. They are letting the fighters know they want to see some action and when it slows down they are quick with their show of displeasure.
0:10 Muhammad Ali has Zech trapped in the right neutral corner...
0:10 Each fighter is measuring the other. Now Ali lets his hands go and scores several quick punches to the head of Zech.
0:19 The two fighters lean on one another. Their arms are free and they should be throwing punches. Now they separate and the action resumes.
0:24 Ali backs into his own corner...
0:24 Zech lands the right hand. He's pretty effective with that punch when he sets it up right.
0:24 Jay Referson is telling Zech to watch holding and hitting.
0:33 Zech doesn't have to look for Ali this round. He is right there in front of him.
0:36 Zech scores with a jolting uppercut inside.
0:45 There seems to be more moving and clinching than we anticipated from these two. We didn't expect this bout to turn into a chess match.
0:53 Ali works himself free. Now the fighters move back to ring center.
0:58 Zech pushes Ali away to give himself a little more space to work with.
01:10 Ali seems really focused on what he's doing this round.
01:13 Zech traps Ali in the corner!
01:17 Zech fires and misses.

01:35 Ali scores with the jab.
01:50 Oh! That was a straight right by Ali!
01:50 Zech is hurt!
02:00 Ali fires a short, ripping uppercut inside.
02:14 There's a straight right by Ali!
02:14 Zech is staggered…
02:29 Zech fails to connect with that punch. He pushed it out there instead of cutting loose with it.
02:35 He lands a smashing cross!
02:35 Gerhard Zech was stunned by that blow!
02:44 As high as Zech is holding his gloves he is leaving his body wide open to a damaging body punch if Muhammad Ali takes advantage of it.
02:56 Ali wings a big left hand at Zech but the latter sidesteps the punch.
03:00 Ali just comes up short with that shot.
03:00 The seconds jump into action in Zech's corner as the bell sounds ending Round 3.
