Was Taylor-Pavlik 1 a quick stoppage?

[2501]

Taylor was out at one point standing up right before Kelly landed left. I swear, a lot of fighters would be dead if some of the posters here were refs.

Taylor was KNOCKED OUT COLD

It was a good stoppage

What the hell are YOU talking about? he wasn't out cold, .

[-Antonio-]

Are you kidding me? Taylor was lifeless. This was in no way a quick stoppage.

He was nearly out cold. Look at the expression on his face.

Taylor was slumped in a corner with his eyes closed,Smogar would have been crazy to give him a count,the fight was over

did you see calzaghe destroy manfredo? i really wish the ref stopped that fight 3 or 4 rounds earlier. just too much power.

Yep he was gone! And he didnt look like he wanted to get up either..
The guy got crushed in there that night..

Taylor simply needed to take a knee. His mind was gone and that type of true ring generalship is lacking even at the world class level with Taylor. I don't know if any of you watched Rob Calloway in his last fight vs that Russian stud but if you did you will see Rob take a knee the way Taylor should have. Rob couldn't have gone on to win his bout but Jermaine certainly could have taken a knee and pulled out a better result.

Don't focus on the stoppage focus on the lack of mental awareness that JT had.

LMAO!..ain't that the truth!..

This was no where near a bad stoppage..watch that 7th rd again..and he was obviously out..especially for a ref like Smoger (I think it was him right?)..He's best known for stopping the fight too late..wit too much un-necessary punishment..

I can't believe you guys rather watch a man get killed or Knocked paralyzed rather than an obvious defeat and watch the man fight another day..TERRIBLE!!

I hear Manfredo still screams randomly at 3pm in the afternoon (10pm British time). It's been a long road back to recovery.

I am a big fan of Jermain's but COME ON! Bad Intentions was out! Maybe he was still awake, but he was slumped with his arms by his side on his knees.
