Pavlik-Taylor was a bad stoppage?

[FightNight 2007]

First things first, watch your tone. We don't need the cyberthug element around hear.

Second, I give props to KW and Kevin Perry of FightReport for making the best boxing gifs this side of BozoNoNo. I don't know who you are and am blessed for that.

Little man, I had this sig RIGHT AFTER they put it up. I should know, I waited for it.


anyways, I was kidding around with the tone.

[Easy-E]

No, but it was stopped incorrectly.
It should have been stopped before Taylor fell to the canvas or after he was given 10 seconds to rise.

[MJ406]

Boxing refs have one of the harder jobs to officiate in the sporting world

stop a fight too early and its "what the **** he coulda continued!"

stop a fight too late .. and its "you know he could have died of brain damage you *******"

its a tough spot to be in, in either of the above scenerios

but in the Pavlik-Taylor it was a legit stoppage, because not only was JT getting hit, but he wasn't throwing back, and by the time the flurry ended he was on the ground.

seeing if Taylor could have gotten up after falling on his ass woulda made the fight that much more climatic.

Hands down, head down, what else do you want?

You gotta protect yourself at all times, when you fail to do that you risk the fight being stopped....

[Pugilistic™]

it was a good stoppage

[EliteSoldier]

the uppercut is what finished him. He was a dead duck after that

[newforce]

that statement is sarcasm.
Anyway, I think Taylor will win the rematch.
