Question about Chavez/Taylor.....

[MetalVomit]

Seen the fight a million times.

The one thing that people seem to forget is that Richard Steele counted up to five when Taylor was up. He GAVE Talyor a chance to recover and a chance to continue in the fight by counting to 9 (I believe) BUT Taylor didnt respond to Steele. So for those people complaining about the stoppage should know Taylor had a few more seconds to recover. Steele couldve wipe Taylors gloves and let him continue with about 6 seconds left and prolly get killed.

I think people should look at the fight for what it was... a GREAT FIGHT!!! Both guys put on a great show, as a fan there were no losers.

I don't remember how many seconds steele counted, I just don't see how people disagree with the stoppage.

if steel would have let that fight go on i think chavez would have possibly killed him.seconds in boxing could ruin a life.

2 seconds, not even enough time for Chavez to walk to the middle of the ring, let alone make it to Taylor's corner, let alone hit him again.

And Taylor was ****ing Chavez up for 35 minutes and 58 seconds of that fight. Anybody who gave Chavez a single round in that fight was biased. Taylor's flurries were fast, effective, and powerful, as well as eye catching. Chavez landed some brutal shots as well but 1 or 2 big punches per round is not enough to win any of the rounds, especially when you're getting pounded by flurries every single round.

I would have just been happy if Meldrick had gotten the victory for all of that work he put in, it would have at least been something he could of gotten even thhrough all the damage he suffered in the aftermath.

steele wasnt biased either way, he was doing his job, taylor clearly would not look at him or acknowledge him when steele repeatedly asked him if he was ok, he had no choice but to stop the fight

Really? Is that why Meldrick nodded his head to Steele when Steele asked him if he was ok? Is that why Taylor was up on the count of 8?

As for Medlrick looking away for a moment, that was dumbass Lou Duva's fault. He jumped up on the ring apron and starting acting like some kind of spastic monkey. Medlrick looked his way to see what was going on.

Of course that was after Richard Steele got 2 head nods from Meldrick signaling he was ok and wanted to continue.

Worst officiating job I've ever seen, and that's saying a lot. Chavez got owned by Taylor for almost 36 minutes straight. That said Chavez does punch like a mule and that's the reason Medlrick is not the same today, I won't argue that one bit.

But anybody who agreed with that stoppage, or that Chavez actually "won" the fight is just lying to themselves....and they're probably Mexican.

Probably both. Did you see the post by Ultimate? If I hadn't seen the fight I would have thought that Chavez was actually winning. This is the mexican way of thinking. We cause more damage we win the fight. The problem with that way of thinking is winning ROUNDS in boxing is what decides the winner of a fight.

Yeah, I saw that and it pisses me off. Taylor was a hell of a fighter, and one of my heros growing up. I don't hold any ill will toward Chavez for beating him up physically, it was a fight and he did what he had to do. I do hold ill will towards people who think Chavez was winning though, it's a boxing match, not a "Rocky" movie. Just because you're hitting harder doesn't mean you're winning, especially when your opponet is hitting you with 7 or 8 unanswered punch combos at a time.

They're all Mexican, the people who think Chavez won or was winning are I mean. You have to be, only blind Nationalistic views could make you think otherwise, especially if you actually watched the fight.

Whats up with all this racist talk.

Just because one favors his fighter all of a sudden he's Mexican. How ****** and childish can you be. Theres actually people out there that are white or black or chinesse or filipinio that are fans of Chavez. So stop the ******ity, "if you have Chavez winning then you must be Mexican," ok, Hitler we must all see the world through your eyes.

Pay attention, holmes.

A.) I fully realize that there are many non hispanics who were fans of Chavez and the way he fought. I never said that, find me where I did and you get all my points.

B.) What I said was "anyone who watched the fight who thought Chavez was winning had to be Mexican". Meaning they were viewing the fight with National pride on the line, and th ehonor of Mexico. Any human being with 2 eyes could see that Taylor was teeing off on Chavez like Tiger Woods.

C.) Give me a round in which you gave to Chavez, just one. I dare you to find one that you could even make an argument that Chavez won it. Don't worry, I'll wait a while.
