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.

You can thank Floyd Mayweather for that style of running and excessively holding as a strategy. Sadly, 99% of African American boxers box that way now along with weight-bullying. Or else, they can't compete.
@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!
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.
Taylor was getting pounded, round after round. You could see Taylor was breaking down. Taylor was ruined in this fight. Chavez was destroying him, yet the announcers kept saying Taylor was winning. We could see it was a matter of time before Taylor went down. Chavez is the best.
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❤👍🎖️
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.

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 🐐
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!!
I didn't see any back and forth. I saw Chavez break down a great fighter. Taylor looked good to the tv and HBO commentators but any real boxing fan could see Taylor was headed for death.
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.
@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 HBO commentators bias was so obvious in this fight. Imagine if Steele let it go, Chavez lands one more, Taylor dies. Then it's oh why didn't Richard Steele stop the fight 🙄
All I can say is listen to an 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.
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.
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!!!
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!!!!
Salvador was faster, could knock you out with either hand and had speed that blinded you. Oh yea he was Mexican and had a chin of iron if you could hit him. He was great because he never quit like Chavez against De La Hoya second fight. Great but not the goat! Ask Tyson and Roy Jones who was the perfect fighter.
That’s your opinion and I respect it. I think Salvador Sanchez was good too but that ain’t my era I was lucky to be 6 years old and watched Chavez fight!! Just like Michael Jordan made me fall in love with basketball Chavez made me fall in love with 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
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 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.
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.
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"?
@@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
@@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!
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
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.
From El Salvador , Chavez is my all time Favorite along with Mike Tyson. But I do say this Taylor he is one of the greatest to ever step in the ring, mad respect...
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.
💯 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.
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
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.
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.
I remember a boxing coach on tv broke down the last seconds of the 1st fight. He said Chavez led Taylor to the ropes. Taylor followed him. Just to turn him and expose his open side. To throw the power punch. Chavez's experience was on full display.
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.
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.
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.
It didn’t start showing up until Round 8 or 9. At that point, everything that looked like glancing blows from Chavez started adding up and skyrocketing.
@@danielhenderson8316 Richard Steele stated that Chavez was landing hard punches all throughout the fight. You could hear the thud but most were blinded by Taylor's flashy punches.
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.
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
@@lovinv08those guys ko in 1 shot, JCC hits hard enough to do real damage but not to flat out sleep someone. Those are the most lethal type of guys. An accumulation of 300 or 400 punches is way worse than 1 ko punch. JCC changed Taylor's brain forever that night and for the worse.
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
The Legendary Julio Cesar Chavez! One of my favorite mexican boxers along with El terible (my no.1 idol), Baby face Assassin, and Dinamita! Fan from Philippines 🇵🇭
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.
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.
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.
I watched the whole thing for the first time and honestly this probably was the best match I ever saw on my life😮 remarkable Chavez knew what the hell he was doin 😆🚬😶🌫️🍺🥃🃏
@@danielzunigagutierrez6300idk bout 90% cuz alot of these mostly European blooded Mexicans don’t come from poverty in Mexico…but mixed yes he is. most Mexican ppl are mixed or mestizo…
Es asombroso como mete las manos Julio. La coordinacion al lanzar sus golpes, Siempre conecta, Hace ver muy facil algo que es extremadamente complejo. Ademas, super fuerte aguantando golpes, Una mandibula de acero. Que maravilla Que Maestro es Julio
I remember telling everyone that was watching this fight with me.... look at Taylor's face....JCC beat the brakes off Meldrick... and what happened in the rematch? I rest my case
Shortly after the first fight between Chavez and Taylor, I ran into Referree Richard Steele at a Las Vegas Denny's. I asked him for his autograph and the first thing he said to me is "You must be a Chavez fan." He was a very nice guy! I never forgot that day.
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.

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!!
We will never see another boxer like Julio again!
Si esta tambiern marquez
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 🐐
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 didn't see any back and forth. I saw Chavez break down a great fighter. Taylor looked good to the tv and HBO commentators but any real boxing fan could see Taylor was headed for death.
@@ighfee
Indeed!
Just imagine if it had been a 12 round fight.
Hopefully, Duva would not have allowed Meldrick to take any more punishment.
You're never gonna be the same after a fight like that absorbing that many hard shots.
“It doesn’t appear that Chavez has the stuff to get it done”
Knocks him down
Crickets
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So why did Chaves and up Taylor's career???
They were talking way too much sh** , Chavez ruined their night!!🤣
By far . He is one of the greatest fighters of all time.
Meldrick Taylor is just another AFRICAN GLORIFIED by the FAKE American White man just like Floyd Mayweather. Thank you.
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.
@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 HBO commentators bias was so obvious in this fight. Imagine if Steele let it go, Chavez lands one more, Taylor dies.
Then it's oh why didn't Richard Steele stop the fight 🙄
Lampley was an ignorant batch that knew nothing about boxing.
the HBO commentators always seemed to have an agenda against mexican fighters always dick riding non mexican fighters not named Oscar de la hoya...
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
All I can say is listen to an 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.
Not only that but the actual post fight interview he said Steele stopped it without asking if I was ok.
Steele said twice are you ok.
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.
Exactly but one of the best fights ever
Because all the media wants Taylor to win
As a Hispanic, Chavez fought more brothas than i ever did growing up in Compton.
🤣
whooped them too he would of cooked Floyd in his prime
lol
My pops always said they always threw them big bulls on him. Knowing blacks looked stronger! Lol
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!
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!!!!
Remember as a little kid having all my family over to the house to see this legend fight!! He’s the Goat of Boxing!!!
Salvador was faster, could knock you out with either hand and had speed that blinded you. Oh yea he was Mexican and had a chin of iron if you could hit him. He was great because he never quit like Chavez against De La Hoya second fight. Great but not the goat! Ask Tyson and Roy Jones who was the perfect fighter.
That’s your opinion and I respect it. I think Salvador Sanchez was good too but that ain’t my era I was lucky to be 6 years old and watched Chavez fight!! Just like Michael Jordan made me fall in love with basketball Chavez made me fall in love with Boxing 🥊
Just as you said having these fights on tv at family functions when I was a kid is how I remember Chavez! Such a legend
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
Fighters nowadays could not take the punishment and keep going. Boxers were just built Different back then love it
You’re right!!
Case in point, MMA, one little hit and asleep they go.
Crystal butterflies
😂
This is the kind of Boxing I love watching Both Boxers are warriors... All Heart, Blood Sweat and Tears
2 great fighter’s Man fights like this don’t exist anymore rest in peace 80s & 90s 😞
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 🤣
Yes, Chavez's fists were completely humiliated by Taylor's face
😂
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.
Hablo espanol?
Meanwhile his opponent sliding all over the ring 😂😂😂
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
This is peak boxing here. None of these fighters nowadays can go 12 rounds like this. It still bring tears to my eyes.
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!
Two warriors and legends never to be Forgotten in Boxing there Legendary.
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
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!
Taylor was never the same after these fights with Chavez. He was urinating blood at one point.
@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.
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
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.
yo that was a great observation.
Ref also spoke to him and got no response. This means that Taylor is no longer in the fight. It was a good stop.
Both have Heart. Huge hearts. These are warriors. There’s no looser, when you loose the best. That’s my opinion.
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
From El Salvador , Chavez is my all time Favorite along with Mike Tyson. But I do say this Taylor he is one of the greatest to ever step in the ring, mad respect...
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 🫵🏽🤡
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
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.
I never get tired of seeing this story.
Humiliated Chavez killed Taylor career after that fight Taylor was done. The beating he took just finish his career. Chavez was a beast
What a high qualty boxing fight, no wonder why its a legendary fight!
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.
I remember a boxing coach on tv broke down the last seconds of the 1st fight. He said Chavez led Taylor to the ropes. Taylor followed him. Just to turn him and expose his open side. To throw the power punch. Chavez's experience was on full display.
🤫
“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.
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.
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.
These two had styles that were meant for each other. Such excellent boxing by these two!
Chavez......our Mexican Papito !!!!! We Latinos were proud as hell of him !!!!!!
He was still Out of it and Holding to the ropes to keep him up ....after that Brutal KO 🥊🥊🥊
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.
It didn’t start showing up until Round 8 or 9. At that point, everything that looked like glancing blows from Chavez started adding up and skyrocketing.
@@danielhenderson8316
Richard Steele stated that Chavez was landing hard punches all throughout the fight. You could hear the thud but most were blinded by Taylor's flashy punches.
Chavez may not have had the speed of Taylor, but his punches were so solid and deep soul crushers. You could just tell.
Not soo. If he hit the way you said. An opponent wouldn't make it out of the 1st round.
@@1Stevencyou a moron.😅😅😅😅
Julio Cesar Chavez will always be a legend. Lots of his opponents humiliated him and underestimated him but he definitely showed them!
Taylor was a great warrior a very good fighter God rest his soul, Julio was a great champion
Taylor is still alive.
commentators saying Taylor was dominating the fight, his face disagrees with them, dude's face looked destroyed while Chavez face looked pristine.
Watching the fight with 20/20 hindsight, the stoppage doesn't look so bad seeing how bad MT ended up
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
@@lovinv08those guys ko in 1 shot, JCC hits hard enough to do real damage but not to flat out sleep someone. Those are the most lethal type of guys. An accumulation of 300 or 400 punches is way worse than 1 ko punch. JCC changed Taylor's brain forever that night and for the worse.
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

The greatest fighters to ever put on a pair of boxing gloves!
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.
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.
@@danielhenderson8316 Well if Chavez lands a big right and kills him, would it have been worth the risk?
No hugging, no running, just pure class brawl. The hard, solid punch of JC are unquestionable, it never disappoints.
Chavez vs Taylor was one of the greatest bouts ever.
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.
That first fight is legendary. Two boxers as sharp as a scalpel. True champions at war.

Chavez was losing the first fight until the knockdown, unless you choose to ignore the judges' scorecards.
@@AllinGold2that knock down almost cost him his life
Shortly after the first fight between Chavez and Taylor, I ran into Referree Richard Steele at a Las Vegas Denny's. I asked him for his autograph and the first thing he said to me is "You must be a Chavez fan." He was a very nice guy! I never forgot that day.
