Richard Steele is an honest a ref as I have seen, he called as he saw it, he was not the timekeeper, he was there only for the safety of the fighters.

And Taylor was a damaged fighter both physically and psychologically post ChavezI, thus it could be argued Steele and Duva let the fight go on too long.
We had this debate before so I don't know why we are going back into it, many boxers have broken thier eye orbitals, and everyboxer that has a cut in his mouth swallows blood including myself over the years, I don't know any boxer who has not suffered a cut in his mouth through a career (maybe you know many of them). There is no problem with you having your own opinion because you are entitled to it but you making it seem like it's a bogus comment is strange considering that there are millions of people that agree with me, the other thing is that Steele had other bogus stoppages beyond the Tyson-Roddick Chavez-Taylor fight which is why he get's booed everytime he refed a fight after that. As far as the post Chavez comment I believe that Terry Norris also contributed to his demise considering he fought at a solid level until that fight. Now the point was Pernell and Meldric showed that Chavez can not only be beaten but demolished if he faces an opponent with extreme technical boxing skills, guess what PBF has extreme technical boxing skills.
