Was Smoger Bias?

[Bhopreign]

Just wondering why he didnt give Taylor at least a count, being a champ and even dropping the challenger earlier, seems odd, still after watching all over again. Doesnt matter if Jermain was in that position, Taylor went down, I could see if he was still leaning against the ropes like he was, but he went down, which deserves a count, thoughts?

doesn't ****ing matter, it wasn't taylors night. He allowed pavlik to jab the **** out of him too much. If he got back up he would have gotten dropped again, hahaha you're playing the race card when were not ****ing dumb. We know how hard pavlik ko'd taylor. Like were ****ing blind, dude went down like he didn't want no more

[MELLY-MEL...]

r u kidding? taylor was ****ing out man! he was slumped over like a para-palegic! smoger saved taylors career. i hope he thanked him!

[Silencers]

Because he was slumping on the ropes with his hands down.

Topic creator thinks it was cuz taylors black, mwahahaha what an idiot. I got taylor winning this even though you're all picking pavlik. Taylor isn't dumb, he knows he allowed pavlik to jab him way too much, and pavlik has a hard ass jab.

god, why do floyd stans make these kinds of threads? Why are you guys so partial to black fighters?

[ExecutiveOutlaw]

dont think so, but i think a more nervous ref woulda stopped pavlik in round 2

Smoger bias? Come on now...

Taylor was slumped and defenseless...you have to stop the fight then...maybe if he would have just fallen he would have gotten the count...but he just slumped in the corner

I watched this fight over and over. The stoppage was good, but also Taylor was fighting good, even while he was gassed. He was boxing ok, untill that 1-2 landed. Im confident that Taylor is going to win this. Its gonna be early. I just see it happenin. Taylor KO 4. Same right hand, but this time Taylor will pick his shots. Lets hope Smoger is the ref!!

Not racist at all, I agree he should have stopped it if Taylor HADN'T gone down, but he did, or if Taylor was still on the ropes when he went down. Employing a count removes all doubt.
