How many times should Steele have asked Taylor if he was ok? 3? 4? 5?

Looked like the ref made the right decision

Mainly butthurt black fans that cry about it.

No, not letting the fight go on was unfair to Taylor. We know Chavez didn't have enough time to get that W. Taylor could of took a knew and still won on points. He was that far ahead.

The reason the stoppage is justified is simple....too simple.
Safety first and no one can argue it without looking like someone who doesn't care for the fighters safety. By the time Chavez got from the neutral corner to Taylor the fight would have been over and Taylor would have won....but safety first.

Go watch Mosley Mayorga. Fighters are rarely, if ever in the actual corner. More often than not they are pretty much close by ready to pounce. Mosley scored his ko with when the ref motioned for them to fight with 5 seconds left. Chavez had just as much time and was not in the neutral corner either. If you watch the replay, the clock stopped a few seconds after Steele waved it off. The stoppage came at 5 to 4 seconds. The clock stopped at 2.

Iv'e always been of the opinion that Steele made the correct call.

Dude looked wrecked. I don't know, but there was a lot of fight left to go.

Didn't Mayorga get KO'd by Mosley in the last three seconds RIGHT after getting up? Chavez Sr. would of bumrushed Taylor.

Anything could of happened.

Like I said, Steel looked like he was in a bit of a hurry. All he had to do is his job without rushing and time would have run out. He was rushing..no doubt.

He could of asked him a millions of times and black america wouldn't still admit that defeat.

That's nice but I'm Latino and that was one of several Chavez Sr losses.
