agreed yes people will argue he had bad injurys but they should of let him have victory so all that damage wasnt for nothing the bell rung so people who say chavez could of got there are wrong just listen at 2:50 mark just when steele stops it unless chavez is carl lewis no way he could of got there in time because fight was stopped at 2:48 on that video and then bell rung at 2:50
If the bell went at 2:50 and the fight gone to Taylor, wouldn't that have been a controversy the other way around? 10 seconds is plenty of time for a boxer to inflict damage.
I was looking at the footage for the first time the other day, it seemed to me he went down with a good 25 seconds left on the clock, he was in no way fit state to continue fighting 10 seconds after the knockdown, so the fight had to be stopped.
it wasnt 25 seconds because bell rung 2 seconds after the stoppage of course people wouldnt be saying robbery if there was 1:00 but fact is 2 seconds left come on it was horrible for taylor considering all them injuries he had they should of let him have it he did outbox chavez and can u believe a judge actually had chavez winning on one card unbelieveable and i agree they didnt let taylor respond because of duva distracted him plus when steele stopped it taylor was in shock and he was speaking u can see he was speaking at end of vid if they would of let taylor gone on and win like he should of i wouldnt of seen it as controversy i would of thought chavez almost had him but he left it to late
