Did any one else have a problem with the ref giving JT an 8 count when he was clearly out, becouse personaly i did
i still dont think a count was neccesary he was out on his way down and he also hit the back of his head on the canvas
I agree, but the refs back was towards taylor due to the way Taylor fell when the ref turned around he noticed Taylor was in the dead **** roach stance and waved it off... Not a bad job by the ref...
It wasn't an 8 count. He was going to count to 10, but when the individual ( might of been a doctor ) ran into the ring to check on Taylor, the ref just waved it off.
i saw the ref giving the count right in front of jermains face when his back was on the canvas even though it was a short count it could still do damage but im glad the ring medics were quick into the ring
You never know what could've happened. Most people think a fighter would stay down after this kind of knock down, but there are some cases were a fighter got up, don't know any examples at this moment though, anybody...
ok i reverse my mild statment. off the top of my head: larry holmes - ernie shavers shannon briggs - lennox lewis terry norris - julian jackson
