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.
Chavez the true definition of Mexican style boxing!
culture of Mexicans and Filipinos have similarities.
@@wilfredocortez8327 that’s also true
No disrespect to Filipino boxers but you probably mean “Manny Paquiao, because after Manny.. who else?
@@Warrior_By_birthfacts
Real talk, he's the first man you think of when you hear it.
God... How I miss 80s and 90s boxing. Great fights and fighters in every division
I agree, and even past decade was good with Paquio, Marquez, Morales, Mayweader, etc
Don't worry you still have great fights like Jake Paul vs 60 year old Mike Tyson. Should be a bloodbath highly anticipated fight
Yeah, I agree, and the same with 90's NBA
"ALL😂SPORT'S" Nowaday's are So Damn Fake... RIGGED AND SCRIPTED.
Hahaha
107 - 6 .. you just dont see records like that anymore . absolute legend. 🐐🐐🐐🐐
I count it as a 107-0 fighters these days be having 50-0 and retire lmao
Illegal police records for crossing our border?
Julio Ceasar Chavez was a gladiator. They don't come like this anymore.
And if he had fought all he lost to in his prime he would have beaten all of them. He over stayed his visit in the ring and was still a force to be reckoned with.
@jasintosamora5599 he was a beast. Watching his fights over the years, this guy would just punish his opponents.
Chavez may not have had the speed of Taylor, but his punches were so solid and deep soul crushers. You could just tell.
Julio Cesar Chavez the Great, the Conqueror!! Fans from Philippines
Thank you viva las Filipinas. Also fan of paquia
The Greatest
That’s wussup thanks for da 🇲🇽Respect 🫡 Manny was up der with the titans as well🇵🇭 a truly great fighter, I remember him calling out Mayweather wen they were in der prime & Mayweather was scared in the interview saying he didn’t wanna fight him then the interviewer asked him would he ever scrap Manny he responded like a scared lil bitćh would saying many was on steroids but now that he’s taken so many beatings & on his way out Mayweather decides now he wants to fight him smh Mayweather wack af. 🇲🇽🇵🇭 the real boxers in the game never cherry picking taking on anybody that stepped up💯
Well said sir... now What Pacquiao did We will not see it again....
mex is fan of paquiao specially when paquiao made weather shut up love to the philipines brother
What a difference between Boxing from the years back and now... You can STILL get all the emotions going... That was such a GOLDEN ERA for Boxing.
I agree,
These guys put on good exciting fights no running around the ring like Floyd Mayweather would do .
@@reyesmunguia4899 I agree
Exactly what I was thinking watching this.
You said it tulesg. Tuesday night fights with Sean ogrady , Tyson episodes, all of the great Olympians like breland sweet pea etc wow so much to say about the Golden 90s
Fighters nowadays could not take the punishment and keep going. Boxers were just built Different back then love it
All I can say is listen to and interview taylor had couple years later, where he was happy the ref stoped the fight and said he should have stopped earlier. Because of the damage he had received.
Meldrick Taylor was never the same fighter after the pounding he took from Julio. Meldrick fought a great fight but the shots he was taking were crushing.
Y aun así Taylor era excelente, desafortunadamente ganó chavez pero es reconocido mundialmente como un boxeador completo, pero como dicen por ahi no fue su noche
The $$$ is always on the FAKE American. Look at Mayweather 50-0 winning on decision 70% of the time due to privileges of being African in FAKE America.
Taylor had too much heart. He gave so much in the first fight that he never regained it. I blame Lou Duva. He should have seen the beating MT was getting.
Now he suffers some type on dementia.
@@pabloquijada9208Desafortunada mente??? Como sera la envidia desde alla abajo??? No la conozco ? Chavez se merece todo el respeto por ser uno de los mejores!! Viva México 🇲🇽
On both figths Julio wasn’t only fighting the opponent , he was fighting the American Media also, and still came victorious
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

@@dannycrockett9878clam tf down bro😂
@@dannycrockett9878 Listen to the commentary. By the 4th round, Sugar Ray Leonard, Larry Merchant & Jim Lampley were nothing more than cheerleaders for Taylor. They ignored all the devastating shots that Chavez was landing on Taylor. The commentary was the most biased I have ever witnessed in boxing
this right here.... 👆
Things I learned from watching boxing. Don't ever quit. Don't leave it to the judges to say who won. And respond the the referee immediately.
Ever since I can remember i love to watch boxing matches with my dad and Julio Cesar Chavez was by far our favorite boxer. There's many many legends in boxing ..too many to name them all.But I guess being from Mexican descendant our loyalty will stay true to the GREAT JULIO CESAR CHAVEZ #GOATJULIOCESARCHAVEZ#1BOXER
Not humiliation. This was classic Chavez. He fought against all odds and got that win, even when he shouldn’t have been able to he made it happen. That’s what champions do. And Chavez is one of the greats.
Humiliated? Look at Taylors face as the fight progressed. Julio was breaking Taylor down and the star struck announcers were not seeing it.
Chavez left HBO for Showtime. They were talking him down intentionally as they were directed to.
I agree. If you see the fight again the hbo team were so biased in favor of Taylor When Chavez knocks Taylor down all they say is if Taylor gets up he wins the fight.
Can you imagine if the ref had not jumped in between castillo and corrales when diego was unloading?! These calls are made in fractions of a second. You could see a vacant expression on meldrick's face, and one second is all Chavez needed to kill him. Take a look at the end of mosley vs mayorga
It's the FAKE American way to glorify his African. At 6:32 into this video; you will hear the FAKE American say, "" RighHand leads SOLID into the face of Chavez"" when Chavez steps back AND Blocks Taylors punch. This is why I stopped paying $$$ to watch FAKE American-Boxing. For example Mayweather, the most GLORIFIED boxer in Boxing history and other FAKE American.

What fight were these commentators watching ? He looked fresh af and the other dude looked like an alien
To be fair, Taylor's a great champ with a stellar amateur career, which does explain the sheer volume of punches he's throwing the whole fight. But, compared to what JCC was doing.. he's throwing bombs for the kill.
The greatest fighters to ever put on a pair of boxing gloves!
I remember that fight. And I remember how cool it was to just turn on the TV and watch great fighters, championship battles for free.
It was on St. Patrick Day!
That was not free...lol😂
@moysesgaray8410 if you had HBO, it was free.
@kingsman8475 your family must have had what was called a scrambler or black box which could steal all the channels for free. Although the pay-per-view flights were on HBO, You still had to pay for the fights!
@@moysesgaray8410 No, my family did nothing illegal. In the nascent beginning of Showtime and HBO, fights were free! ABC was free.
I think its kinda funny how the commentators say "chavez on the verge of going down" yet he was dancing around unfazed lol
lol!!!!
And then they stayed quiet when he knocked him down
I remember having to mute the commentary it was so bad. I mean look at Taylor's face, Chavez surgically closed both of his eyes. This was a great fight and Taylor earned respect from a lot of fight fans but if they think this was a unanimous decision they were watching the fight with serious bias.
This guy underestimated a Legend. Chavesz is a master in boxing not to mention his experience, skill, endurance, stamina, accuracy, wisdom, determination, and heart. Much love Chavez you will always be one of the greatest boxers of all time. Earned thru blood sweat and tears this legendary fighter takes his spot as one of my favorites. Hats off to you Chavez❤👍🎖️
This was a fight of the Gods!!!! When fighters showed great humility and respect to each other. When they laid it in the fight for all to see!
Taylor is one brave dude. Heart of a lion, but Chavez is Chavez. Both just out if this world talents. Thank you!
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.
I agree 100% Dr.S
nauna kasi yabang ni taylor... pataas-taas pa ng kamay tumbahinn pala..
Well said 👏 👌🏼
This...well said sir. As for Taylor, horrible fight plan/corner, cost him the fight and maybe his boxing career...
“Chavez on the verge of going down” after Chavez had beautifully evaded a flurry of 20 punches 🤣
The commentators hated Chavez 😂😂😂
Ever since I was a kid the HBO commentators were so anti Mexican
because he wasnt a sell out s d mite . Put an o were there are spaces there .. since that word is sinsored.
The torch , for those that are not heavyweights, (for some reason often held by two boxers at a time) went from Chavez and Jones Jr. to DelaHoya and ____ , to Pacquiao and Marquez(his only aCTual loss was to Paqman) , and then to Come Lord Jesus ⌛💥✝️🌫️
Lampley said Chavez is "on the verge of going down" and is "reduced to head hunting", then throws more body shots.8:50. Lampley was my favorite commentator but was drinking during this broadcast.
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.
Thank you Julio Caesar Chavez thank you for showing us Mexicans to not to fear any human on earth congratulations and my respects to your career
What a high qualty boxing fight, no wonder why its a legendary fight!
Chavez wasn't humiliated, he gave the worse beating.😅
And in his own words, had to go literally close to death to do it. :)
He was getting beat … his corner was on his ass in the last couple of rounds .. we was all worried..
@ramoncorrea5779 Taylor was never the same. Chavez inflicted too much damage on him!
@@jamesescamilla1112 It came from an accumulation of fights, not just the Chavez fight. Watch his next world title fight with Aaron Davis. Some fans reported him sharper than he was in the Chavez fight. Aaron wasn't in the same class as Chavez, but he was young, strong and undefeated.
@canibusnj nah man, Taylor was bleeding internally in the hospital for a month! His head, especially the temple area was swollen so bad he definitely was concussed with permanent damage!
The first fight they interviewed JC at his ranch in Mexico the next day. MT was in the hospital recovering.
That’s EPIC! What a Legend!!!
Doesn't mean shit 😂😂😂 I'm Mexican but that ref needed to let it go to the cards.
@@number7__879you’re wrong. Referee doesn’t keep time.
yeah an im Muhammed Ali!! LMAO
@@number7__879 Hogwash, referees' job is to protect the fighters!!
Two warriors and legends never to be Forgotten in Boxing there Legendary.
look at their faces. I dont' care what the judges or the narrator might think or not. just look at their faces. the reality of who was getting the beating. Taylor also deserves a lot of respect. he fought with a Giant Heart!!! very hard to find this days. both fighters are legend.
I wouldn’t say humiliated. This was one of the most intense back and forth fights I can think of! Two warriors just giving it there absolute all!! The rematch was also very good!!
Surger Ray Lenard and Roberto Duran is another one and they actually had animosity towards each other.
Not humiliated, more like humbled. And then pissed off 😂😂
Morales vs barrera was pretty intense
I remember that fight, and it was one to remember. That was when boxing was really boxing, not like the crap there is right now. But you can see that even back then, Latino boxers were hated on. You can just hear the commentators giving all the positive words to Taylor and nothing to Chavez. Some things never change
It's not "latino" as much as it is citizenship. Don't be ignorant to the fact that the Mexican broadcast was hailing Chavez the entire fight (rightfully so, since JCC was in control after the 5th round).
@Suntzur well I'm not from Mexico buddy, so don't be ignorant to the fact that this is the UNITED STATES of America, and racism and discrimination STILL EXISTS
@@mikeflores104 LOL!!!! Do you struggle to read English? I never implied that you were from anywhere or that racism doesn't exist. The words you were whining about weren't racist, they were biased toward the boxer from the announcer's own country. EXACTLY the way Mexican broadcasters have LOUDLY been pro-Mexican fighter. Since you seem intent on whining about racism, how about you tell us a country that doesn't have it so we can begin ti emulate them.
Absolutely, I was looking for the comment that stated it. All positive words and praise for Taylor and just so negative toward JCC. Even at the end the commentator says, " If he (Taylor) gets up, he probably wins the fight", foo just got rocked!!!
@jonathanavalok5955 we're the bottom of the barre in their eyes, brotha, but we are fighters, and we push forward very hard hailing champions!
Remember as a little kid having all my family over to the house to see this legend fight!! He’s the Goat of Boxing!!!
I NEVER GET TIRED OF WATCHING THIS MATCH UP BOTH FIGHTERS ARE REALLY TALENTED THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST FIGHTS IN THE HISTORY OF BOXING
Saw this with an Army lightweight champ. I had Taylor ahead before the stoppage. My Army buddy said, "No, no, you'll find out Chavez really hurt Taylor, badly." Sure enough, Taylor was never the same after the fight. Chavez really hurt Taylor's body, eyes, and everything else!
Totalmente bien analizado! Chavez un campeon de box profesional dando una paliza con golpes de poder vs un pulpo que parecia boxeador de estilo olimpico, literalmente Chavéz lo retiró y termino su carrera
Chavez retired several fighters. Beat them bad
Bulshit your army buddy didn't say that you probably don't have an army buddy making s*** up Skitzo
Haha when Richard Steele waived it off, it took Taylor 3 seconds to even react to it not to mention he wasn’t responding when asked if he was ok to continue. Idk how this a controversy at all great stoppage by the ref.
he was totally out on his feet. problably just silence and confusion inside his head.
@@antaresblazewar9083yes, standing and leaning on the ropes
Taylor never got the victory he was in La. La. Land in both fights
These two had styles that were meant for each other. Such excellent boxing by these two!
boxing needs to come back like this
Mayweather ruined boxing.
History proves that both fights may have saved Taylor's life. Looking at him a few years later he can barely talk. Chavez is a boxing legend and i am so glad I got to see so many great fights in the 90s.
Maannn respect for both fighters. They gave those fans a heck of a show. Bravo to both fighters bravo. Julio Cesar Chavez had 107 wins, 87 by KO and only 6 loses and 2 draws. Those numbers are crazy. Someone else mentioned in the comment section how much they miss '80s and '90s boxing and I couldn't agree more.
This was the golden age of boxing when they would actually box.. not run/sprint all over the ring for 3 minutes at a time and then claim to be the goat. Chavez will always be 🐐
You're never gonna be the same after a fight like that absorbing that many hard shots.
Chavez wasn’t humiliated, he was victorious.
Chavez was a fighter like ko other. He was the best ever in my eyes. A true warrior with balls of steel. Didn't he go like 90+ fights without loosing? That's insane!!!!
Man what happened to these types of legendary fights? Everyone nowadays hugs and runs.
My favorite part is when Taylor throws like ten punches that catch nothing but air and Jim Lampley says: "Brilliant stuff by Taylor. Chavez is on the verge of going down"
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.
It is SAD that he really had this commitment He was fighting with pure hearth. He never bounced back.. btw he was that damaged.
💯 Exactly what I was thinking. All the wobbles, stumbles, loss of power, loss of speed, loss of accuracy, and all the face damage M.T showed before the TKO while JCC was still standing well.
No Julio was the better fighter all around beat that boy and made him look unrecognizable meanwhile Chavez looked perfect 🫵🏽🤡
“Chavez on the verge of going down” 😂😂What a bunch of biased clowns.
Seems like Even Chavez heard that 😂. Chavez was up at 100%, and just looked like he was superman 😘🥊💯. Bunch of ppv Clowns 🤡
Absolutely 👍
The FAKE American Commentators LOVE their AFRICAN.... Huh?
I agree. These announcers were pitiful.
Imagine Chavez being Ameeeerican and African, FAKE Americans would LOVE him.
Clean win in BOTH fights.
I always feel blessed as a boxing enthusiasts to have grown up and been able to see some of the greatest fights and fighters ever born in 1972 watching all the grapes through the 80s and then the 90s heavyweights were just amazing fights. I don't think we'll ever see anything like that again. RLTW 3/75
The way that the first fight was called seemed like it was called by fools that couldn't see the pounding happen and all of the goose eggs that were closing the eyes of Taylor.
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.
“It doesn’t appear that Chavez has the stuff to get it done” Knocks him down Crickets
Valiant Taylor, what a great boxer. Chavez was just another level.
2 great fighter’s Man fights like this don’t exist anymore rest in peace 80s & 90s 😞
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. 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.
Thank For Bring This Memories Back This Fight Was Amazing
This by far was one of the best fights I saw Taylor Chavez two warriors in a fight to the death great matches
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.
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.
@@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"?
I say this, shouldn’t have been knocked down 🤷🏽♂️
@@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!
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
JCC was a hero in my household growing up as a kid with the (black box) where we got all the big fights. I'll never forget how together my family was during those fights. Even when the guard was changed and De Lehoya took over we all rooted together as a family. Some of the best moments of my life to this day.
War is ugly and hurtful, but this is beautiful and poetic. Great fighters of a golden era.
Chavez vs Taylor was one of the greatest bouts ever.
Those two stars shined brightest than ever during this fight. You had to be a beast to beat Meldrick that night. Chavez came thru after enduring more shots than ever. Two of the best that night
Meldrick Taylor fell down at 17 seconds. The fight was called at 6 seconds. Richard Steele did his job and did not care about the clock, only the 10 second count. Great ref. Meldrick Taylor was one of the most talented fighters to ever step in the ring. He is a real champion and respected by all. The knock out was legit.
There was two seconds left. The referee gave the fight to Chavez
Nice memories, I remember watching this great fight with my grandfather ; I was a teenager dreaming of becoming like the great champion julio cesar Chávez. My grandfather passed away many years ago. Greetings from a magic town in south México.
@8:58 Chavez is on the verge of going down, meanwhile he dodged 12 shots in a row lmao
Chavez hit him at least five to one after that point. But the announcers were still acting as though Chavez was about to go down. Strange.
GRACIAS Julio Cesar Chavez ❤ por llenarnos de gloria no soy mexicano pero me siento representado.
Wow, these were the best days ever for boxing. Chavez is one of the greatest.
Julio Chavez, the heart of determination beats strong in the man who has no fear. He pressured his opponents into his inside game.
that was heartbreaking for Meldrick Taylor, being a Philly fighter, he couldn't just stay away and box for the last round. Tough one, great fight, one for the books
Watching the fight with 20/20 hindsight, the stoppage doesn't look so bad seeing how bad MT ended up
You lost your mind
Yep! Taylor lost everything his speech, his motor skills, they said Taylor pissed blood in the hospital. Now imagine his brain. Rattled like maracas, mostly Meldrick lost his mind.
@@abdulwakeel5598 what do you mean, taylor looked like he'd been hit by a bus.
Dude that guy could barely talk before the fight. Chavez don't hit half as hard as tyson,foreman, wilder, beterbiev, probably not ever as hard as gervonta davis
@@lovinv08 why are you comparing chavez's power to guys twice his size and then pretending youre making a point? how old are you? HAHA

when will we aver see this type of fights again?!?🤔🤔 no running, ho hugging, just pure battle!
What a pleasure!!!. The commentators saying Julio had lost jajaja
Here we go again one more time y que viva LA RAZA 💪🏼 CHAVEZ IS A REAL MEXICAN FIGHTER ...💯 Great old times
Well done!!! I agree. Meldrick was never the same after the first Chavez fight. Love this channel!
I never get tired of seeing this story.
It was a close fight, Taylor a round or 2 up going into the last round but it was Chavez doing the damage.
Chavez......our Mexican Papito !!!!! We Latinos were proud as hell of him !!!!!!
I was a huge Holyfield, Taylor and Whitaker fan from the 1984 Olympics in LA. I got to see them win gold. I was sad and happy because my favorite boxers were fighting. It was bitter sweet. Taylor had it but you can’t run a marathon and not get to the finish line on your own. If anyone was going to beat Taylor, I was proud that it was Chavez ❤️🙏🏽
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.
Ref did the right thing in 1st fight. MT was not responding to the ref
Taylor was robbed

Taylor is still alive.
90's had so many great boxing fights
what a great fight by two great warriors. haven't seen a fight like this in recent times.
Both have Heart. Huge hearts. These are warriors. There’s no looser, when you loose the best. That’s my opinion.
One of my favorites. Chavez almost took this mans vida. Thanks for the quality man! It is almost original.

I miss great fights like this those were the good old days
Thats what dogs do. The first fight was one of the best fights I ever saw.
Seemed like the HBO crew werent calling Chavez's shots when they landed.
Of course they weren't its the American way. They didnt have the Civil War nothing.
Dude yeah, i remember always thinking the same when i first watched in 2014. 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.
He was moving to Showtime.
He landed 1 to 5
Announcers are always star struck they can never hide their preference.
Awesome story. Two great warriors toe to toe unbelievable
That's a bad ass fight!!! Both of these man are fucken legends.... Love Meldrick's old phily boxing style against one the best fajadores of all time... Chavez.... Chávez defense was out of this world.. This is world class caliber 🥊... This is art..😢
Both men are warriors. Respect to them both. I do remember Chavez saying he felt he was gonna die in the ring that night. Imagine the will it takes to keep fighting like that. A ko is a ko tho, be it with 2 seconds left or 2 minutes, the man was out.
And after the fight when being interviewed Chavez said Taylor deserves a rematch. Imagine wanting to go thru that again. A real champion, two real champions. Not like today's cherry pickers that dodge anyone who's a threat to their 0 losses.
Man, these were great fights. I remember being a kid watching these fights with all the old folks. We're Latinos so you know the house was rockin!
Back in the day when boxers earned their money. This guys were fighthers and not running around the rng trying not to get hit. Both gave their very best.
