  • 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

      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'm from Indiana in the USA and I always admired the great Mexican fighters of that era. 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.

      Chavez will always be 🐐

  • @DrSkippy1
    @DrSkippy1 Před 3 měsíci +193

    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 every amateur ampro is tired if you go down and you get back up you respond immediately to the referee and let him know you're okay. Regardless of why Taylor did not respond he didn't Richard still didn't know how much time was left and he did the right thing.

    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.

    yup that is true, Meldrick Taylor is a true champion. with a big @$$ heart. my Respect to Taylor. even the Great champion Julio Cesar Chavez said this was his toughest fight, this is the closest to death he has felt.

    It was a close fight, Taylor a round or 2 up going into the last round but it was Chavez doing the damage.

    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.
