[QueensburyRules]

im used to seeing the ending over n over.. but seeing the entire fight just makes the ending worse lol. cant believe meldrick didnt choke the referee to death.

2 seconds away from history man.. damn. adrenaline watching it.

- -Poor Mel still tryin' to figure who he is while Duva on ring apron screaming his fat oafery into a stroke.

U light in the loafers?

choke the ref?
LMAO couldnt even answer his question...
and the ref should procced same if its 2 seconds or 3 minutes left...

he nodded his head twice to continue. wtf was the ref saving with 2 seconds left? only thing he save was Chavez record

You should watch the ending a little more carefully... Taylor was holding onto the ropes the whole time during Steele's count. He was absolutely in no condition to continue. By the way, Steele waved the fight off with 4 to 5 seconds left which was plenty of time for Chavez to landed a coma-inducing shot on a defenseless Taylor. Taylor took a ton of clean single shots all night even though he outworked and outlanded Chavez for most of the fight.

I agree.
It was Taylor that ended up in hospital with face fractures and pissing blood.
Taylor was being held up by the ropes and couldn't tell the ref that he was ok to go.
Doesn't matter how much time is left, if the fighter looks done then he HAS to stop it.
Great stoppage IMO.

Maybe he saved Taylor's life.........

Nobody earns the right to potentially be killed in the ring.

There were two seconds left. Meldrick had fought a great fight and deserved the opportunity to last the rest of the round if he was able.

2 seconds left man... nothing was saved but Chavez undefeated record.

How many times was Steele supposed to ask “are you ok”?

To add, watch the 12th round of Mosley Mayorga. The same exact scenario happened. People saying Taylor should have been allowed to continue don’t believe Chavez could have hit him again. Now back to Mosley Mayorga. The ref allowed Mayorga to continue with five seconds left. Mosley landed a knockout blow get the ko. Chavez would have seriously hurt Taylor more than he already had.

Big difference in time between the two fights.
