The answer is because he had it beaten out of him. It happens in boxing.

it seemed as though he was domiating that fight until he got KO'd, why didnt the same happen to Chavez?

Some guys can just take more punishment than others. Yes Taylor was winning rounds, but the punches he was hitting Chavez with were nowhere near as damaging as the punches Chaves was hitting him with.

The bone around Taylor's eye was broken, he swallowed ungodly amounts of blood from bleeding in his mouth, suffered damage to his body from all the body punches. The doctor at the hospital said Taylor was pissing pure blood after, suffered brain damage.

The brain damage at first was not noticable, but it was big enough to slow his great reflexes down and as time went on only got worse and worse to the point now were he cant even take care of himself.

he fougtht the fight of his life and got robbed. he took alot of punishment too

When the ref ask you if you OK two times and you dont respond he needs to stop the fight end of story. Its not Steel's job to keep time.

deal with it.

i just finished watching this fight. He asked Taylor twice if he was ok, and Taylor didnt even look at the ref. Robbery? **** no. Miracle? Indeed.

ya not only did he hit chavez with everythin he had
and not do much damage
but he was taken incredible damage

yes he could have let him continue
for those last 10 or 5 secs
but what if he would have received even more damgae to his health from those last one or two shots chavez would have landed
its the refs job to protect the fighter

it could have been alot worse for meldrick if he had let him continue

taylor was being hit by solid punches throughout the whole fight
