Man, I'll go to my grave thinking Taylor got screwed there. I don't care if you're not supposed to take the time remaining into consideration, Taylor was up and there wasn't enough time for Chavez to even cross the ring and throw another punch. I think that should come into consideration.Comment

Go watch Mosley Mayorga and tell me what happens with 5 seconds left.he handled it awfully, there was a lot of crazy stuff happening after the knockdown so of course the fighter is going to be distracted, and with only like 5 seconds left he could have given him way more of a chance to talk to him instead of just assuming he is not listening.Comment

Taylor couldn't answer a simple question he was asked twice. "Are you ok?" He didn't answer. How many times should a ref ask before being answered?Man, I'll go to my grave thinking Taylor got screwed there.

Taylor was asked 2 times, "are you ok?". He never responded. What else is the ref supposed to do?Comment

Agreed.....Man, I'll go to my grave thinking Taylor got screwed there.

I disagree. The official time was 2:58 of the 12th round, but if you look at the video, there were still 5-6 seconds left when Richard Steele called it off. If he lets Taylor continue with that time remaining, and ushers Chavez in, with 5 seconds left, I think Chavez could have landed a quick 2 punch combination before the bell rings.Comment

Well I wouldn't go that far lol.I disagree. The official time was 2:58 of the 12th round, but if you look at the video, there were still 5-6 seconds left when Richard Steele called it off.

That's why I reference the Mosley Mayorga fight. Shane was let loose with 5 seconds, and landed a knockout blow. Chavez could have easily done the same. But ****** people look at the official 2 seconds left and think that was the actual time Chavez wwould have been allowed to continue.I disagree. The official time was 2:58 of the 12th round, but if you look at the video, there were still 5-6 seconds left when Richard Steele called it off.
