 Finally, the referee stopped the bout with just a few seconds left in the first round, awarding Holmes a technical knockout.Many in the sports press criticized father/trainer Joe Frazier for changing his son's style from that of an out-fighter (which brought Marvis success as an amateur) to an in-fighter, which many thought did not suit Marvis.After his loss to Holmes, Frazier continued to fight and won his next six bouts, including victories over future world cruiserweight champion Bernard Benton, heavyweight contenders José Ribalta and James "Quick" Tillis, and future champion James "Bonecrusher" Smith.
