1.) So he should've helped Taylor by virtue of time A fighter can win at any point of any round, else what's the point of having the last 10 seconds

2.) Taylor did not respond when Steel asked him he was able to continue, so that's it, fight over - time has no relevance

3.) Not that it has any relevance, but Steele did not know how long was left in the round as he didn't have a watch and the crown was too loud for anybody to hear the 10 second indicator

Check this thread out, me and VD debating the stoppage
