Nodding the head is not enough,

Yes it is a boxer normally nods there head to let the ref know there ok.

Taylor got up at the count of 5, he nodded to Steele's question so he did show he could still fight.

Plus Steele made major errors like not making sure Chavez was in the neutral corner. If he would had the fight would of been over and Taylor would of won. Plus when he asked Taylor a 2nd time if he was ok he didn't give Taylor a chance to answer and waved the fight off immediately.
