I heard his trainer told him to knock the guy out, but later claimed he said fight like Ali..

Taylor's corner had nothing to do with it, only 5 secs left, and the ref stoped the fight, after Taylor got back on his feet.

hmm

Taylor's cornermen jumped on the rope as Richard Steele was asking him if he was ok, which distracted Taylor and so Steele thought Taylor could not continue, and waived off the fight.

However, what Steele did was inexcusable. It was the last round of a title fight, Taylor was winning, and there was a flashing red light just behind the turnbuckle which signals to the ref that there are less than 10 seconds left in the fight. With mere seconds remaining, Steele stopped the fight even though Taylor was up, and he did so inocrrectly. Officially, there were 2 seconds left at the time of the stoppage.

One of the worst things to happen to a boxer ever, happened to Taylor that night.

I agree 100%. Richard Steele knew from that red light how much time was left in the fight. He just wanted to stop it so Chavez would win plain and simple.

I won't cry over spilled milk...all that is in the past...and there is nothing anyone can do about it...Chavez got the W...I just feel vindicated that one of my favorite fighters Kotszya Tsyzu humiliated Chavez with a very bad beating...that more than made up for the Richard Steele controversy.
