Oh come on. That stoppage was totally legit. Smoger didn't even have to stop it as Taylor wasn't getting up. I suspect the guy who started this thread is kidding.
he went down after the fight was stopped, idiot. he tried to go down so he could get a count but the stupid ref stopped it before.
Taylor's face looks deformed he needs to get some ice on or he's gonna have mountains growing out his face! Taylor is also emotionally destroyed. Almost crying during post fight interview while face continues to swell. He needs to get to the hospital NOW!
Taylor was not getting up from that...slouched over, face down...he had never been exposed to that type of punishment and the fight was beaten out of him at that point. Pavlik should get a new nickname..."The Destroyer"
Did anyone else notice at the end of Taylor's interview that he had missing teeth from the front of his bottom teeth? I never noticed that before. Did Pavlik do that just today or had he lost them before?
You're right, what was I thinking. Since he was clearly capable to keep fighting, he should have jumped right up and complained to the ref. Oh wait. He could barely sit up, let alone stand up. C'mon, there is no way that was a bull**** stoppage.
Every time Taylor fights it seems as though his face swelling only receeds 50%. His look is changing. lol
Iwouldn't be suprised if Taylor has detached retina. His face looks tore up bad. I'll prey for him and his family tonight.
