I thought the fight was properly stopped in the first place. My own guess is if Meldrick had been in the shape he was in at the end of the round with two minutes left and the fight had not been stopped?

Chavez would LITERALLY have killed him. Meldrick's neck was gone, he had no punch resistance left.
