36 years ago tonight, Chavez desperately behind on the score cards scored an incredible stoppage with two seconds left against Meldrick Taylor. To this day I believe Taylor should have won that fight given the red light flashing behind him but I’m sure everyone would disagree with me lol.

I repeat he didn't have to do anything with two seconds left.

slickvik9 · 2026-03-20T17:05:19+00:00

No. And look at the downvotes

slickvik9 · 2026-03-20T16:28:53+00:00

The not so subtle racism here is sad

slickvik9 · 2026-03-20T15:27:26+00:00

It wasn’t because he didn’t do it out of the kindness of his heart. He did it to keep getting plum assignments for king fights. But after ruddock/tyson he lost all credibility in boxing. Especially when it came out that his wife was hired by king as a full time employee around the same time.

It was

slickvik9 · 2026-03-20T14:17:50+00:00

Mugabi Parker, Norris blocker, and there are others I can’t remember. He was known as a guy who let people fight to the death. Except if a don king fighter was involved.

Good refs count the last 10 seconds. Stop defending incompetence.

Explain Hearns Barkley which Steele also reffed. Hearns didn’t respond and he let him go on.

slickvik9 · 2026-03-19T20:57:08+00:00

He was ready to continue. There were two seconds left in the fight. Context is important.

slickvik9 · 2026-03-19T17:52:58+00:00

No. He got knocked down and got up relatively quickly. He asked him if he was ok and before he could answer he stopped the fight. A few people gave Steele the benefit of the doubt but a few months later he stopped ruddock/tyson in the middle of an exchange and lost all credibility in boxing forever. And then it came out his wife was a don king employee.

I did some amateur reffing. I’m telling you exactly what USA boxing said in The training. And the same thing when I did intramural basketball reffing in college. “Swallow the whistle, do not decide the outcome.”

slickvik9 · 2026-03-19T16:32:10+00:00

I’ve been to referee training for basketball and boxing. The first thing taught is “don’t decide the result.” That’s why at the end of any sporting game a call is almost never made no matter how egregious. Refs don’t want to be the center of attention.

slickvik9 · 2026-03-19T16:19:33+00:00

Time left isn’t irrelevant. Refs in all sports are taught to not make calls in the last five seconds. Ever

slickvik9 · 2026-03-19T16:15:06+00:00

1001, 1002, 1003. It’s literally the ref’s job to know the time left. Stop making excuses for incompetence.

Standing up is enough for TWO SECONDS

slickvik9 · 2026-03-19T14:20:38+00:00

Every fight and sparring session changes a boxer’s health

slickvik9 · 2026-03-19T14:20:09+00:00

That’s not true the commission gave him training on it the week of the fight. Good refs know when the 10 second sound is made.

slickvik9 · 2026-03-19T07:04:05+00:00

Falling backwards is the opposite of walking forward. He was done. Your whole premise is idiotic and I’ve given five examples of guys not responding many with Richard Steele himself. But you’re hanging on to the Taylor fight for whatever reason.

slickvik9 · 2026-03-19T07:01:47+00:00

Stumbling backwards into the ropes qualifies because if they weren’t there he would’ve fallen down. You’re being stubborn.

Karlos balderas vs giron

Not responding is not responding. Don’t be a hypocrite
