Question about Chavez/Taylor.....

[.::|ULTIMATE|::.]

I keep thinking that with only 2 sec's remaining there wouldnt have been time for him to land any more big shots...JMO

There was actually about 7 or 6 seconds remaining when Richard steele had his hands up waving the fight off. The official time they put though was 2 seconds.

Thats an eternity in boxing and Taylor had no legs left.

As for who is to blame for taylor loosing the fight, Only taylor and chavez is to blame. When you are in there its only you.

Taylor was NOT robbed because

1)He did not answer the ref.. TWICE

2)Was not in a ready to fight stance

3)Was leaning and wobbeling on the ropes

4)Taylor landed like 20 low blows in the bout which were flagrant (part of his strategy) he coulda been Dqed and he would been seen like a nother golota.

I really wish people would stop trying to say if Taylor had gotten to continue his life would have been different and better.

It wouldn't have the punishmenrt he took is what made him like that not the stoppage

It wont be better no matter what, the brain damage will always be there. I'm just saying that for him to spend the rest of his life that way, getting the W for the fight that caused the damage would have been nice anyway. He was winning that fight anyway but Steele had to stop it with 2 sec' remaining. And, there was alot of talk about Chavez being a Don King fighter and Taylor's corner trying very hard to get a different ref long before the fight took place because it was a well known fact that DK and Steele were very good friends. It all just seemed 'off' when added up like that. So no, the victory wouldnt have changed the shape he's in...I'm not saying it would, but it sure wouldnt hurt knowing that it wasnt ALL for nothing

Thats cool..different people are gonna look at it differently. I already posted that mine wasnt exactly the popular opinion, which I knew before making the first post about it.
I still feel that whole affair was shady, in a way that only Don King (and maybe Arum) can make it.

King and Steele being good friends is nothing but Duva propaganda. The only people to blame for him not winning is his corner.

Steele admitted to being long time friends of Don's and promised when asked about it that it would not affect him while doing his job. That alone tells me he should have stepped down from that one particular fight.

Thats the thing it wasnt, Steele had the opportunity to repeatedly screw Taylor, deducting points , even a DQ. Counting Taylor's fall in the 12th as a KD. etc.

But he didnt it was simply a By the rules call.

I never heard that, but I have heard Steele say he has no connecetion with King whatsoever and the only time they have communicated was when it was neccasary.

I saw an interview where he said not once has he ever said more than 10 words to king and it has always been in the ring.
