    Deserved the win, yes.

    But did Richard Steele do the wrong thing?

    Absolutely not.

    Time doesnt matter. If the referee asks you something, and you dont respond, fights over.

    AND EVERY FIGHTER IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD KNOWS THIS.

    PERIOD.

    Another myth, Taylor would not of clearly won by decision, it would of been split at best 115/112, 116/111, 112-115...

    Chavez got "lucky". If there was such a thing as a last minute luck shot, and I don't believe in luck in boxing but if there was this would be it.

    I dont know about that. Taylor looked very weak on his legs from about halfway through the 10th round, and it looked like it was a matter of time before Chavez finally caught him. Chavez just didnt push the issue as much as he should have.

    But that punch was certainly not a lucky punch. It was a perfect straight right over Taylor's dropped hands.

    terry norris...:verysad worst camp decision ever

    terry norris was a butcher i actually know few people like him murderously quick brutal hard punches and all in combo's aswell.
    he decemated leonard,little,mugabi,curry,daniels,blocker and he didnt just win or knock them out he was there to tear them apart i know few who fought like that tyson would at least stop punching or help them up.

    i feel this fight was more destructive than the chavez fight. as good as mel was with defence and speed (he actually did alright despite being tiny compared to him for the first few rounds) his hieght natural wieght and his physical abilties went down the drian as terry totally blew him apart.

    Terry Norris is highly underrated in a historical sense.

    Yes, hence if the last round was scored 10/8 Chavez, Taylor would of won a razor thin and even more controversial split decision, by the scores I stated.

    No, it was very close fight, Chavez was catching up very quickly and indeed over took Taylor at the end. If it had gone to the cards the least Chavez would of deserved was a narrow split decision defeat.

    I had Taylor winning, but Chavez was coming on, and the HBO commentators were seriously jocking Taylor like they would another guy of the same last name 15 years later.

    I gave Taylor 7 of the first 8 (gave Chavez the 2nd round), gave Chavez rounds 9 and 11, and round 10 (a GREAT round) even.

    I had it 107-103 Taylor, so Taylor would've won 115-113 on my card if the fight had gone on and the final bell sounded.
