Why are some saying that Jermain didn't get up because Smoger...

taylor was out on his feet. i dont think he was aware that he was on the canvas, judging by the blank look on his face. he could'nt have gotten up

 

And when he was coherent again, I believe he asked if he was KO'ed while he was still taking a seat. His people nodded in agreement.

Smogler or not.
Taylor was done like dinner.
Absolutely no fight left.

 

Exactly he was out and a 10 count would have done nothing to help

 

i don't think taylor's a hype job, but there are a lot of hatters out there who don't want to give pavlik any credit.

 

That's how tito and cotto get out of trouble:scaredas:
dirty is as dirty does:good

 

If Taylor "had" gotten up, a 6'-3" Pavlik would have tried to pile drive a
right hand out the back of JT's head.

JT was helpless, and it could have turned into a very ugly night.

 

I think what Bernard Hopkin said rings so true about this fight and Jermaine in particular! He wasnt just ktfo ..he quit

 

Taylor had absolutely nothing left when he was stopped. Nothing.

 

Psychosis? Mental ******ation? Lost thier Mickey D's money? :yep Who knows? :huh

 

Who are those some? :blood

Give it a rest man . . . Taylor was knocked out cold period! :yep

 

Bingo. They're scrambling for excuses. This is the most ridiculous one I've heard in a long time.

 

Did Smoger actually stop the fight before Taylor hit the canvas?

I think Smoger might have, and thus the reason why Smoger was right almost on top of Taylor, possibly inhibiting Taylor to make a move to get up if he could.

If Smoger stopped the fight before Taylor hit the canvas, I'm fine with the job that he did as a referee.
......but if he decided to stop the fight after Taylor had gone to the canvas......Taylor is already on the canvas, why not give him a count to see if he responds to it?

It would'nt have mattered in this fight imo, but in some circumstances a fighter looks out of it on the way down, and seconds later is clear enough to get up and even make a fight out of it.

Smoger's knee lay right on front of Taylor's face, and Smoger was'nt even looking at Taylor's face to determine his condition as he was waving the fight off.....thats why I'm of the inclination that Smoger had made a determination to stop it before Taylor had hit the canvas.

 

noone has used that excuse.
