HAHAHAHAHAH Chavez on the verge of going down........


Lampley is such a douche.

I didn't remember him saying that.

I beg all of you to watch the 3 rounds Thread Stealer posted......

Watch them with the sound off for Gods sake......I nearly punched a ****ing hole through my computer screen hearing the nonsense of Lampley, Leonard, and Merchant.

I thought Chavez won all three of those rounds......
The eighth round Chavez actually outboxes Taylor on the backfoot, but is'nt given any credit by HBO because according to them, Taylor is making Chavez retreat.atsch

The ninth was the closer round of the three, Chavez still landing the cleaner harder blows.......

The 10th was classic Chavez........his shots landing with thudding regularity......LOL at the commentating crew stating Chavez was about to go down by a Taylor flurry early in that 10 round, but Taylor actually missed every shot in that flurry with Chavez moving his head and swiveling his body to make Taylor miss everyone of those shots.......


I think what it comes down to for me when analyzing hte whole fight is that Taylor's workrate was higher, but Chavez was landing cleaner and harder, and at a higher connect %.
The difference thats evident to me is that Chavez' defense was much better than Taylor's......
When Chavez landed, it was crisp and thudding with Taylor taking the brunt of the punch.

So many of Taylor's connects were being parried, ridden, and nullified by Chavez riding the punch.......alot of people just pay attention to Taylor's hands moving but dont pay attention that Chavez is nullifying those shots with his head movement.

Chavez was the better defensive fighter throughout, and it was telling in the fighters faces as the fight wore.......



I could go on and on.......alot of you around here have seen me do it too.....


I'm absolutely emphatic about this, watch those rounds Thread Stealer posted with the sound off.......there is no other conclusion to me but that Chavez won those rounds!:deal

 

"Chavez the great body-puncher is reduced to head-hunting" says Lampley.

A second later Chavez connect with two solid body punches

 

Thats the 1st time i've heard this commentaryfire what a bunch of ****s, jeezus i thought Col Bob got carried away but this is pure fantasy with more than a bit of SRL foreskin sucking thrown in for good measure:deal

I was at this fight & of course it ai'nt easy to score it effectivly what with the atmosphere & emotion of the night but it looked all Taylor from were i was sat but watching it when i flew back home with Col Bob commentating you'd think Chavez had'nt turned up. I've watched it a few times years back & had it for Taylor by 3 rounds.

I've watched it again recently & with the volume down low there's def a case that you could have Chavez pinching it I posted my rounds a while back & i'am sure that i had close or level coming into the last & in most of the early rounds Chavez blocked plenty of Taylors work & landed brutally,

I'll go watch it again:yep

But that commentary is a ****in disgrace & near on identical too the Leonard/Duran "Montreal" bull**** which just gushed all over Leonard regardless of the battering he was getting:deal

 

I heard it was Chuck Giampa ... the same incompetent **** that had Barrera 8-4 up on Morales in their 2nd fight :rofl

 

I actually watched last night but did not score it.... I just think its a brilliant fight between 2 top 5 (at that time) p4pers with an amazing finish.

Also... there would have been AT LEAST as much contraversy if the bell saved Taylor, it would have been clear as day that he was done & the real winner was only beaten by the clock as opposed to the fighter.

Chavez did the more damage but Taylor threw more & scored more punches... I think if it never got stopped, Taylor should have had enough of a lead to have had the fight won no doubt, personally but HBO had their heads up their asses, they only gave JCC rds 10 & 11... 7-4 going into the last rd (in Taylor`s favour) seems about fair to me tho I might have to score it next time to be sure.

Either way, it deseved to be voted FOTD for the 90s IMO... Im glad it did :good

 

Giampa can see the future

 

This fight gets brought up more than any other classic.

Get over it!! There was a damn rematch and Taylor got KTFO again.

Also as it has been said already Chavez was doing most of the damage and wasnt far behind. I forget my card but it was much closer than people make it out to be.

 

The rematch was about 3 to 4 years overdue and just a matter of "who has declined less".

 

After the fight had been stopped, my feeling right away was that a year would'nt go by and they were going to do it again.......I mean my goodness, what a fight!

......but it was'nt to be.....and in fairness to Meldrick Taylor who was one hell of a fighter.....Duva promotions made sure that he would'nt have to face Chavez again at 140 lbs.
While Taylor wanted an immediate rematch, the Duva's convinced Meldrick Taylor to immediately jump to 147 lbs and make Chavez go to him at a weight they had an inkling Chavez would'nt take too as well as Taylor could.

The Duva's were so in awe and aware of what a monster Chavez was at 140 lbs and below, that when Whitaker jumped from 135 lbs the divsion where he fought for years to 140 lbs.......Whitaker was matched with Rafael Pineda for the IBF trinket, and the Duva's immediately had Pernell jump to 147 lbs away from the division that Julio Cesar Chavez ruled with an iron fist.

The Duva's did'nt want either Taylor or Whitaker to fight Chavez at the 140 lbs limit......and that my friends is a fact!dealdeal

When Chavez and Whitker finally met, it was at a catchweight of 145 lbs, and Chavez could only go as far as weighing 142 lbs at the official weighin.

Whitaker came in at the contracted limit of 145 lbs, and was likely heavier than that when in the ring.
The Duva's were smart about that move, because it definitely benefited Whitaker that he was the heavier fighter.....and that extra weight he had on helped him against the strenghth of JC Chavez.


......back to Taylor, by the time he was able to secure the rematch that from the begginingg he wanted so badly......those idiots at Main Events led by the Duva's had furthered ruined Taylor by having him have fought at 154 lbs vs Terry Norris who was himself a monster of a fighter at that time at 154 lbs!

 

and while he said that, he landed two solid head shots.


Lampley is a douche.


Keith

 

you wanna know who that judge was ? well he was the one that was bought.

 

Great post and to add to that, MT was on a winning streak but Norris made sure that wouldn't continue. After Norris, Taylor only had a little in the tank and just wasn't the same fighter that fought Chavez 4 years ago.
