The Brit forums opinion on Taylor-Chavez I

Steeles stoppage of Nigel Benn against Eubank was spot on though.

 

That was ****ing suicidal :nut

 

The Norris fight the first 2 rounds were close then Norris turned it on and stopped him.

 

Ah, takes me back - I was a big Chavez fan and had to phone a mate who had teletext to check the result the next morning as no TV, text or web.

Taylor fought his heart out and was winning but got a beating while doing so. At the time it seemed to me that Chavez got lucky - but the fact that there were only 2 seconds left is irrelevant and Steele did the right thing.

How do you reckon a prime Chavez V a prime Hatton would have gone at Light Welterweight ?

Ian Darke was in the middle of it commentating for SKY and it got so serious he said he seriously feared for his life. Until a unlikely savior arrived in the big dreadlocked heavyweight Shannon Briggs who helped guide Darke to safety.

The lasting image I have of that ruck is one of Bowes bodyguards smashing a mobile phone into Golotas head :rofl:nut

 

Chavez TKO, a good pressure fighter vs a brilliant pressure fighter.

 

Agreed:good.

Regardless of time or round, it is also the ref's responsibility, no matter what the magnitude of the fight is, to keep both fighters safe. Taylor was ****ed and I completely understand why it was stopped.

 

With one of them being outclassed and hospitalised. Please don't ask me which one!

 

:good
