I watched this fight and saw Taylor with speed, flash, and a very clear bias coming from the announcers. I also watched Chavez beat Taylor half to death while Jim Lampley was saying Chavez was trying to stay on his feet. To be clear, Taylor almost died because of that fight. He was never the same. Of course, Lampley thought Steele was a villain for stopping the fight. I thought Steele called it right, as Taylor was out on his feet. I liked both fighters for different reasons, but Chavez was a hard, hard Mexican machine that knew one thing: keep punching. Meldrick was the second coming of Sugar Ray with mesmerizing speed. But there was nothing that could have prepared him for Chavez, one of the great throwback pressure fighters of the modern era. Sad to see such a promising young man get hurt so bad; his heart was strong, but Chavez took him apart.

[@MrBluesmeister]

Lampley was a village idiot, always picking sides before fights and then commentating from a one sided perspective. But he wasn’t the Lone Ranger at this, many commentators were one sided unfortunately.

[@petermanson3475]

​@MrBluesmeister well said! I could never stand Jim Lampley, and he was a big part of how/why boxing declined. He always made up the storylines and told the drama before it happened, and tried to cater the commentary to those story lines, rather than covering the fights in an unbiased manner watching what was unfolding in the fight. He was so far up boxing establishment's ass, that they knew they could count on him to help back up the fights that were being fixed, and would trash and disgrace decent boxers. The whole HBO / Showtime crew would do the same, and I've been so sick of hearing Lampley, Letterman, etc. use their bully pulpit to voice their condescending opinions about boxers/managers over the airways. Boxing shouldn't be about which fighters you like or what story lines sound nice, it should be about what fighters actually won. He was also a big part of the money made from moving boxing from free on broadcast stations, to pay cable then pay per view, which diminished audiences, and rather than take a stand against it and wanting to get boxing back into the hands of the people, he loved being one of the glamourous people who got to milk that & take money off the massively hyped up promotions they were doing. BOTH of these fights were stopped way too early, and they were both clearly decisions favoring the chosen boxer. Rather than rail on that and call them out for it, Lampley just backs the referee and judges. At least Letterman called it out on the first one. Similarly, they were so far up their buddy Sugar Ray's backside that they were glowingly praising him the whole fight vs Hagler, despite that he never once troubled Hagler in any way. They also never once called out the absurd scorecard that had it 118-110, and was obviously fixed. They never got on Sugar Ray for refusing a rematch despite how controversial the decision was. They never got on Sugar Ray for waiting until after Hagler announced his retirement, to then come out of retirement himself, and fight a different boxer. It was so absurd how he was just given carte blanche to duck & hide, while being promoted as their golden child. There were just too many decisions like this that they sat idly by as they went on. They also went on a long tirade against Norman Stone, during the Ruiz vs. Jones Jr fight, because Stone was pissed the ref kept letting Jones Jr get away with headbutts & low blows, but would quickly separate the fighters, so Ruiz couldn't fight inside, which was his strength. Lampley went on with a lengthy diatribe how he was glad Stone was never going to be heard again after that fight (despite that he's a legendary trainer, who had Ruiz back fighting for belts later on, still). There's no place for character assassinations like that from the media calling a fight.

The simple fact is, the ref is not allowed to consider the clock in his decision to stop a fight. The simple fact is, if this had happened with one minute left,everyone would have said the ref saved Taylor's life. This was a TKO victory for Chavez. He worked for it. He earned it.

They have a timekeeper for a reason. Knowing the time is not the rough job and that's why there is a timekeeper. The rest job is to completely concentrate on just the fight.

Meldrick took some shots.. one tough dude.. @54sec left he took two shots that would flatline many. He was out on his feet with 24sec left... the rest was pure heart... What a fight... Damn

[@DanielD.-de9cy]

I remember going to work the next day and l had lost my voice screaming at my television watching this fight. I love both men and didn't want either one to loss. How hard that must be for Taylor and Duva. But total props to Richard Steele. Larry Merchant made himself look stupid when he said Steele should have gave Melvin those two seconds because he worked so hard and deserved them. If a ref knows there is two seconds or twenty seconds or forty seconds left on the clock then he doesn't have total observation on the fighters! Good man. Good ref. Good call. Good fight.

[@tjmckenzie4048]

Melvin? Of course he should've given Meldrick those 2 seconds. He was on his feet. Stop with the "He was just trying to let him fight another day" bull crap. If he lets the fight go on, the bell ends the fight. This was the biggest scam in boxing history. And Richard Steele was in the mix of another boxing scandal.

[@DanielD.-de9cy]

@@tjmckenzie4048 If they were in the middle of the ring he probably would have made it to the bell. Many fighters have taken too many shots being held up by the ropes. And again, good refs watch the fighters not the clock. And IF Steele was in on a fix he damn sure wouldn't have waited till there were only TWO seconds left in the fight! If someone had the fix on it would have been for way too much money to cut it that close. And another thing, what if Taylor was the one throwing all the punches in the last 15 or 20 seconds? Steele is just going to tell whoever threw the fight, "Sorry, l tried"?

​@@tjmckenzie4048 why give taylor 2 seconds? Why not give them to chavez? Let Steele say "fight", have chavez hit taylor at 3:02 with a right from hell and send him to the morgue. Oh wait, that wouldn't be fair, would it?

[@tjmckenzie4048]

@@RM-fb6sj Meldrick earned the right to fight for those last 2 seconds. You don't let 2 guys pound the crap out of each other for 47 minutes and 58 seconds and then say you're trying to protect a fighter with 2 seconds left in the bout. Absolutely sickening!

[@knowledgeispower4235]

If you rewatch the 1st match at the knockdown Taylor was still holding onto the ropes to hold himself up, the ref grabs his arms to try and pull him off the ropes to check if he was stable but he was holding on for dear life. Hence, he called off the fight. This is just my honest opinion.

Who cares about the 2 seconds left? Pro boxing is not about gifting someone the fight for the effors. Taylor was in lala land and that officially makes Chavez the winner.

[@danielhenderson8316]

Actually, IBF rules at the time stated that a fighter could be saved in the last round only. If Taylor had said jibberish, it would have made Steele ask if he was OK again and then the round would have been over. You can’t say nothing to a ref after he asks twice if you’re OK after a knockdown and expect that you “deserved” to win.
