Look at the video again, Steele stopped the fight about half a second after he asked Taylor if he was okay, he saw Taylor looking at Duva who jumped up on the ring (Duva is very hard to miss) and he did not give Taylor even time to respond, who the hell did he think Taylor was looking at BIGFOOT. He was looking at Duva and unless Steele has sight problems he knew that. Besides Chavez had a history of controversy in the ring with Whitaker and Randall so this was not a coincidence this was a robbery.
