He was inches away and obviously made a decision based on what he was observing and his experience. Not the worse stoppage ive ever seen, most unfortunate though. And Chavez inflicted A LOT of damage on him in that fight. He wasnt the same after that fight.
That's true. But it doesn't matter. Cuz nobody knew the extent of Taylor injuries till after the fight. So they played no role in Steele's descison to stop it
Steele sure as hell knew the extent of Meldrick's face, and all that swelling wasn't an allergic reaction to peanuts.
