Emotional moments in boxing for you

If you honestly think Chavez deserved to get that fight.. I just can't see it Taylor won the majority of the rounds. He controlled the action, dictated the pace. Landed great shots, better combinations. More accurately.. more shots in general. Chavez, NEVER outlanded Taylor, not even in the 12th round. I'ma HUGE Chavez fan, too. Top 3 JR. welterweights of all time, for me. I should want him to win just as much as anyone.

But if you don't win, I don't pretend you did. He won officially, I'm not sure he did realistically.

NOTE: I've watched the fight, atleast a dozen times. Chavez does good. He just got beat by the better man on that night. Even when he's getting his hand raised, he looks like he realizes he is lucky to have won that fight. You could make the arguement that it's just because it was a battle. But he's been in battles before. This one was different.

I'm going to watch it again in a few minutes.

I gave Taylor 6 of the 12 that it lasted, and I saw him getting beaten towards the end, Chavez did what he did best, namely lasted 12 rounds at maybe 99%. But the real upshot of the fight is the punch that floored Taylor, and his inability to function when he was asked to function. Just because there was only two seconds left doesn't make it okay to let a fight continue. One more punch (it only takes a second to land one) on a shot mans chin could render him Michael Watson-like.

Well, I think Taylor was in better condition during that fight than you do. Neither here nor there. What's done is done.

Okay, dude. I'll give you a nudge when I've seen the scrap again. I'll be hyper critical...maybe then we can agree!!!!!

Take it easy, bro...
