Finally watched Meldrick Taylor vs Chavez

[Wizardsh]

Great stoppage and the only people who disagree are people who refuse to acknowledge that Taylor couldn’t answer steele. That’s automatic tko. Yet these same turds would be screaming they should have stop the fight even at one second left had Taylor died or went into a comma.

I'm an OG and watched it live.

-Taylor got jobbed on a hasty stoppage.
-He shoulda clinched his azz off for the last minute of the fight.
-Clearly had Chavez beat.
-Richard Steele took a lot of heat for it.

But here's the thing.....

-Taylor was never the same after that and his career went downhill from there.
-Chavez also TKO'd him in the 94 rematch.

Level of competition look at my boy GGG love him but he fought a lot of bums for that record he has and bhop too

Level of competition in championship fights? You’re not even making sense.

Taylor was looking into his corner for instructions after the knockdown. There were like 3 to 4 seconds left. That fight would had finished before Chavez could had landed anything else.

Some will see that fight like an epic comeback and other will see it like a stolen chance to victory.

Richard Steele was booed after this fight for every fight he refereed.

It’s sad but we gotta remain objective. Taylor was landing alot of combos and flurries but Chavez got him with hard, damaging shots in between that got taylor depleting after each round. He failed to respond clearly after the knockdown.

What that has to do with this?

If Steele had finished the count and then let Taylor fight, Chavez would have easily had 5-6 seconds which is absolutely plenty of time. Taylor was certainly distracted by his corner. That does not mean Taylor was very clear-headed. He did not respond to Richard Steele immediately so Steele had no choice but to stop the fight. That was really the key.

You would think any lucid man wanting to keep fighting (we all know that Taylor had balls of steel in the ring) would have acknowledged Steele at that moment regardless of any distractions.

There were four seconds left. We can only make assumptions. The fact is Chavez won by KO

What that has to do with this?

Watch both endings. Very very similar. One ref let the fight go on with 5 seconds. A final crushing blow was landed. One ref stopped the fight with 5 seconds and people said a punch could never be landed with that amount of time left.

- -Most ain't some, they stoopid!

Where Steele blew it was TBE TUE 51-0 vs Judah when uncle Roger jumps into the ring to fight with Steele while trying to get to Judah.

Sparked a ring riot that is a DQ in every jurisdiction not MGM Floydy.

Thanks fer the reminder!

Totally different scenario. Maryorga got up and was more animated. He was saying that he can continue and mentioned that he could do so. You are reaching with this.
