Welcome back to Boxing After Dark! Today, let's take a trip down memory lane to the unforgettable year of 1990. It was a time when Julio Cesar Chavez was truly at the top of his game, with memorable wins against boxing greats such as Roger Mayweather, Jose Luis Ramirez, Edwin Rosario, and many more. As excitement built for his upcoming bout against the undefeated American gold medalist, Meldrick Taylor, Mexican fans were buzzing with anticipation for what promised to be another epic showdown. Little did they know, the events of that night would turn out to be far from what anyone expected.

Prove it! Post one link to an article in U.S media that put him down as a fighter. I don't even know why you wrote that. What was the motive? That the American media wanted Mexican boxers to lose? Why? On the contrary, most U.S sports outlets backed the stoppage of the first fight. So go ahead and point me to your source. I have followed boxing my entire life, and I never saw anything but praise for his achievements

They ignored all the devastating shots that Chavez was landing on Taylor. The commentary was the most biased I have ever witnessed in boxing

I think he was not only the best Mexican fighter at the time, but maybe even the best pound for pound in the world.

I think that Salvador Sanchez was a fabulous talent and he would have been champion for a long time if not for the tragic accident that took his life. Mexican fighters of that era were fun to watch and I know how closely the Mexican people followed their favorite fighters. I miss the excitement of those big fights, but it's nice to know that you and your father had a special bond from watching those fights together.

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.

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?

@@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!

I am Mexican and I feel a lot of respect for Meldrick Taylor because he deserve it. He did impresive fights as he was so close. although I was and will be a fan for JC. But those fights were the best fights ever seen keeping us in suspense. The two guys will be remember for long time.

Ppl always focus on the stoppage but never look at the round. He was going. He started walking to the wrong corner after 11 for Christ sake lol. Not to mention the major wobbles and stumbles after he swung and missed completely cartoonishly falling over with more than a minute left. Not to mention you’re technically not allowed to hold the ropes while the count is going once you get to your feet. Had he not had any signs of damage or to that extent, I’d object but 20/20 hindsight we see JCC while being outpointed with ease, was making him wear every single punch and he clearly carried it long after this fight.

So much beautiful head movement and counters by Chavez they just blew it off and gave taylor major props even when punches were blocked by chavez gloves. Also there was an instance where Taylor threw combination and chavez used head movement and they would say "chavez is hurt!". Like no.

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. AND, you can not be saved by the bell in the last round. Whaching Chavez break down Taylor in the 2nd fight was a thing of beauty.

@danielhenderson8316 6 күн бұрын

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.

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.
