Great fight as far as I can remember. I saw Meldrick Taylor throwing more punches and outscoring JC Superstar almost 2/3 of the fight. Though i must admit that JCC was slowly and surely breaking Taylor down systematically with his constant pressure. His body shots were devastating and sapped the strength of Taylor. His punches had more sting than MT's. Gotta give both these great fighters respect for giving us fans a great fight.

pretty much how I saw itOriginally posted by UltimateYou gotta watch the fight, Legendary nights and the commentators that night were very very biased. And who can really blame them.. its probably the most nationalistic matchup ever created.
But here is something that might give u an idea as of the punishment Taylor was taking.
In the 2nd Round Chavez lands a hard left that opens the first of what would be many cuts inside taylors mouth, the round ends with chavez landing repeated left hooks and right hands Taylor hurt.
By the 10th round or so, Taylor's corner manages to stop the blood from taylor every rest period, however chavez keeps opening them up every round. In this one especially, Taylor's streams lots of blood from his mouth, and you can see it run down chavez's arms as he punishes taylor some more.
Basically the biggest BS comments of legendary nights are,
"Chavez started punishing taylor from the mid rounds up" Chavez was landing hard shots from round 1!!! And round 2 could have gone to Chavez.
"Taylor's speed nullified chavez's offense" Leonard.. CHavez was landing every round, most of which kept landing flush. Taylor was throwin his famous quick left hooks but he would drop his right hand, and chavez kept popping taylor with left hooks to the face.
Believe it or not this fight was competitive from start till end. Chavez throwing at a 140lb fighter normal rate.. Hard punches. And taylor was throwing 4 times that landing 2-1 of what chavez was. But Chavez kept switching his hands to block the punches and very few landed cleanly.Comment
