Chavez vs. Taylor I...why did Steele stop the fight!?!?!

[Vasyl’s dad]

here ya go. you tell me who gets up looking better...hearns or taylor.

Taylor.

Heres a question for ya,

who responded back?

[Vasyl’s dad]

yeah, i would.......steele had no business stopping that fight...........too much was on the line........and i rooted for chavez..........

Horrible. To send out a guy who doesn't respond back to your questions is just horrible.

[Vasyl’s dad]

this topic has been beaten into the ground. always has, always will. this is the case because there are a lot of people who feel strongly that the outcome of the fight was spoiled and incorrectly handled by a jackass ref.

And there are just as many people who strongly feel the outcome was correct.

Taylor.

Heres a question for ya,

who responded back?

i didn't see hearns respond. he looked like a bobble head from the shock of being hit with barkleys best sunday punch and i didn't see his mouth move whatsoever. steele let him continue.

"he gets up!! just before being counted out he gets up!!"

Taylor.

who responded back?

so you wouldve been ok had chavez not answered steele if chavez were in taylor's shoes?????.......lol................you don't ask a fighter any questions after 12 hard rounds............if he visibly can't continue.........stop the fight.........this was a unification fight.........chico said a fighter deserves the chance to go out on his own feet or his back.........taylor deserved to continue with the ref close by..........steele was never respected ever again after that fight.............

[MANGLER]

He's a fool. Despite havin the best seat in the house to see the fight, he forgot Taylor was way ahead and didn't have enough time left to get hurt any worse if the fight went on.

what's horrible....?..........fighters know the deal......taylor got caught dead on the chin and went down......................if he is strong enough to get up, then why is a ref asking him any questions???????.........he didn't wobble anywhere.....he grabbed the ropes and is getting his faculties straight...........steele if anything should've asked taylor to take two steps forward.......and then asked a question.................but he thought about that payoff he was getting, and said, damn only a few seconds left.........i'd better stop this fight.......lol........

If Chavez doesn't respond to Steeles 2 questions, yes, I'd be fine with it. You always ask a fighter if hes ok. 1st round or 12th. As has already been stated by one honest person here, people are mad because they lost money.
Did Taylor fight a great fight yes, did he respond at the moment he needed to?
No.

Fight over.

Hearns looks directly into Steeles eyes, something Taylor failed to do. He slightly nodded his head, ever so slightly. Yes, he did look like a bobble head, but he did reply, something Taylor failed to do.

Could Taylor have finished and won? Yes, but the fact of the matter is, he didn't answer a simple question with words, he didn't even look at the guy. Taylor ****ed up, not Steele.

Lets be honest, Hearns couldn't have looked worse. He wasn't asked the questions that Taylor was even though it was early in the fight as opposed to the final 10 seconds. But you obviously aren't going to change your opinion so I'll just leave it at that.
