jcc vs.meldrick taylor worst stoppage ever?

Sounds to me like you've only seen the documentary and not the actual fight.

Taylor did not win "every round" , but they added that for dramatic effect. He was far ahead of course, but Chavez was coming on strong and landed hard punches all the way through; look at how busted up Taylor is at the final rounds.


As for the stoppage, the referee asked him TWICE if he was okay, and he got no answer. So, the stoppage was rightful. What was he supposed to do. Say: okay, you're out of it and you're not replying the questions im asking you, but go ahead anyway? Why ask the questions at all if the answers wouldn't matter?

 

No, considerring that the ref had no idea on the time scale, or did he recive a clear indication that Taylor was fit to continue.

I thought Tua v Rahman 1 was a bad stoppage!

 

:deal Spot on

 

yes, taylor coach was shouting at the ref when he was counting that there was only 2 seconds lef on the clock and must not stoped, everybody knows that ref was bought.

 

C'mon, man, it was Dickey Steele. Whaddaya expect? Horrendous stoppage due to the caliber of combatants in the ring at the time. They were two finely schooled, upper echelon warriors who fought every second of every round and should have been allowed to see the fight reach its natural conclusion. Someone oughta tell Duva to STFU, too. It's partially his fault but ultimately the onus is upon the referee to make the correct decision in a world championship bout of this magnitude.

Each combatant should have signed a carry-me-out-in-a-pine-box waiver before agreeing to the contest as I'm sure each would have rather had it that way before having the fight stopped on them.

 

Taylor was a beaten fighter. How much time was left? Who cares but one more punch could have increased the allready serious damage Taylor had taken in this fight. Good stoppage by a very good ref.

 

there wasnt time for another punch though was there. bad stoppage.
didnt chavez win the rematch fair and square though ?

 

The stoppage was absolutely fine. There's no room for sentiment in boxing, and the referee should ALWAYS follow protocol. People should quit whining.

 

I agree. If there are 5 rounds left or 5 seconds, if the ref doesn't think someone should take another punch he MUST wave it off.

 

:good and also who cares if there wasn't enough time left for one more punch from chaves meldrick did not respond to the ref he was done

 

yes, it was a horrible stoppage...in a championship fight of that caliber...give the guy at least 2 knockdowns before stopping it

other bad ones

tyson-ruddock 1

calzaghe-mitchell

brewer- echols

 

he didn't answer because that fat clown duva was causing a raucus....and it doesn't matter if he didn't win every rd he was winning and winning easy on the cards...it was shady but what can ya do

 

we are not taling about the rematch....talyor was clearly done..he left his life in that ring that night...and I can even see the stoppage..but it is unfortunate
