Opinions on fights that confuse you

[Britkid]

There are many others, Steele stops the Taylor V Chavez fight with 3 seconds to go?

Because Taylor was gone, he had swallowed a pint and a half of his own blood (according to his own trainer, Lou Duva) and had a broken eye orbital.

Sure he could of won, even if he had taken another Chavez right hand, but Steele's sole responsibility is that of protecting the fighters, he is not the timekeeper, and he made his (right) call.

Duran...No Mas? did he really have the s hits?

My theory is that Duran was not properly focused and was simply fustrated with Leonard's tactics and justified walking away because in his opinion; Leonard was not fighting.

I suspect soon after the bout, Duran realized his error and tried to dig himself out of the hole he had created....

The Whitaker draw with Chavez? Why no rematch? Whitaker clearly won that fight.

The Taylor one is valid, those injuries are bad and i think Steele should be forgiven for that one, The Duran No Mas is interesting in that the fight was judged to be close on the scorecards at the time of his quitting, it's all still puzzling as he quits half way through the fight? Frustration, the s hits or his condition simply gave way, what ever the reason it's still one of the biggest mysteries in boxing history.

Third Man, I agree with your original point on Taylor-Chavez. Steele has a history of making questionable quick decisions.
