Wait a second, Pavlik vs. Taylor, referee what?

[Parody]

Regardless of it should have been stopped or not Pavlik recovered. If it was stopped in the 2nd round would we ever know what would happen in the 7th like it did? Yes it would have been stopped in the 2nd by some other ref's, but no it would'nt be right to stop it in the 2nd round, It was taylor's fault he had an oppurtunity and he let it blow, if he was accurate enough he could have won.

I disagree, Smoger stopped it as soon as Taylor hit the floor, Taylor was the cahmp, he deserved a chance to get off of the canvas. If he doesn't make it, he doesn't make it, but at least give the champ a chance.

Slumped to the canvas, with his eyes closed.

Good stoppage.

The Miranda stoppage against Pavlik is more questionable than the Taylor one.

How? Miranda got up TWICE.

The extent of the damage dome in Round 2 has been tremendously exaggerated. Taylor had him dazed for a second but was never close to a KO.

But at least give the champ a chance to raise himself from the canvas. Smoger is a ref known for letting fighters fight, I thought he should have at least gave Taylor the chance to beat the count.

Mainly because he lost his composure and was wild with his punches. If he had shown greater composure and accuracy the fight was over.

Haha I wanted to see a ten count also, but just for the thrill of it. Taylor couldn't have gotten up in thirty

You may be right, but we will never know for sure.

thats how people get killed, if taylor gets up and is allowed to continue he woulda got nailed with a shot from hell within 5 seconds

saying taylor deserved a count is like saying that audley harrison deserved one against michael sprott

I'm talking about the part when Smoger actually stopped it. It was more questionable, because Miranda did this thing called moving after it was stopped. Taylor... didn't, at all. He was unconscious.
