To be fair, Taylor was in the middle of the ring after the knockdowns (especially after the 2nd one) so whatever extra time Ramirez was negated by him breaking the rules and not standing in the neutral corner.

I wouldn't say that's why Bayless ****** in this fight. I think he did a poor job enforcing the rules. These refs in boxing hardly ever referee. Some major fights would look a lot different if the rules and point deductions were strictly enforced. As for the count, I thought Bayless was just trying to make sure Ramirez was good to continue. I actually like that approach in making a fighter move sideways before resuming action, it's a brief moment that a fighter can prove that they are okay. There are other refs that would've judged Ramirez unfit to continue and you would've had a 7th round tko for Taylor. I think at this level of the sport, it's okay to ask a fighter to move laterally before resuming a championship bout.Comment
