Chavez - Taylor stoppage

[wmute]

right stoppage, error, usual don king con?

[Sir_Jose]

Steel asked him twice if he was good and Taylor never answered.

[Mike Tyson Jr.]

that fight only had
2 seconds left and it
got stoped

[Konstantin]

I believe that Taylor may have been able to continue but his attention was not focused where it should have been- the ref- when he was asking him if he was ok and it cost him the fight. So I think it was a correct stoppage from the refs standpoint but Taylor could have gone on to win, if he didnt get floored again.

Steel asked him twice if he was good and Taylor never answered.

And he counted to 9 instead of 8 and Taylor was leaning and holding the ropes instead of even looking ready.

He got his chance again and we all know what happened.

no question that taylor had taken a good beating to that point, although he was putting one on Julio' as well. The thing is that in Taylors condition as he was another couple of seconds with a fighter like chavez could be the end of Taylor as a boxer as well as a person. the referees job and main concern is to make sure that fighters do not take too much punishment, steele made the right call.........Rockin'

[+= El Jefe=+]

he could have continued ,
but he never answered the ref back
so it wasnt that bad of a stoppage
his corner and him had a lot to do
with it

Bull****...

[m00ks]

No bad stoppage the guy didn't know where the **** he was. Coulnd't respond to Steele. Like he said, he doesn't care about how much time is left, 5 seconds would have been enough to get knock the **** out with one more punch and that would have been worse. Sad story of Taylor though. fought his heart out, lost, never recovered.
