If the ref would've asked for Taylors gloves and told him to walk to him, like any good ref would, the bell would've rang before Chavez would have a chance to get any shots off because the round would have been over. Horrible refereeing by Steele that night.
    ref cant give him a pass because the round is ending and if you don't respond you lose.

      again, Steele should've asked for his gloves and told Taylor to walk to him, like any good ref would, before making a decision to stop the fight.

        to bad he didn't do that but he still cant give him a pass just because the round is ending . if a fighter does not respond YOU LOSE NO MATTER WHAT DURING A FIGHT. HBO made a good documentary making everyone feel sorry for Taylor but it was all bullcrap propaganda

                    I wish HBO would re-air some of their old classic fights like this one.

                      Richard Steele has done it many times, he has helped many Don King fighters.
                      Lou Duva even tried to get a different ref, but they wouldn't switch. He was up at 5, in the final round close to the bell, hard pill to swallow, when the fight cost him everything.
