When Humiliated Julio Cesar Chavez Had 2 Seconds Left 

Humiliated? Look at Taylors face as the fight progressed. Julio was breaking Taylor down and the star struck announcers were not seeing it.

On both figths Julio wasn’t only fighting the opponent , he was fighting the American Media also, and still came victorious

“It doesn’t appear that Chavez has the stuff to get it done” Knocks him down Crickets

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❤👍🎖️

God... How I miss 80s and 90s boxing. Great fights and fighters in every division

Chavez the true definition of Mexican style boxing!

Julio Cesar Chavez was just plain badass!!!

Both Dawgs. That's a real real boxing match right there. Respect to both men.

Julio Cesar Chavez the Great, the Conqueror!! Fans from Philippines

107 - 6 .. you just dont see records like that anymore . absolute legend. 🐐🐐🐐🐐

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.

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.

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.

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.

You're never gonna be the same after a fight like that absorbing that many hard shots.

Wow, these were the best days ever for boxing. Chavez is one of the greatest.

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.

Taylor is one brave dude. Heart of a lion, but Chavez is Chavez. Both just out if this world talents. Thank you!

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

boxing needs to come back like this

“Chavez on the verge of going down” 😂😂What a bunch of biased clowns.

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.

Chavez may not have had the speed of Taylor, but his punches were so solid and deep soul crushers. You could just tell.

We will never see another boxer like Julio again!

Chavez wasn't humiliated, he gave the worse beating.😅

I think its kinda funny how the commentators say "chavez on the verge of going down" yet he was dancing around unfazed lol

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

Man what happened to these types of legendary fights? Everyone nowadays hugs and runs.

The first fight they interviewed JC at his ranch in Mexico the next day. MT was in the hospital recovering.

Fighters nowadays could not take the punishment and keep going. Boxers were just built Different back then love it

Remember as a little kid having all my family over to the house to see this legend fight!! He’s the Goat of Boxing!!!

These two had styles that were meant for each other. Such excellent boxing by these two!

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.

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

Two warriors and legends never to be Forgotten in Boxing there Legendary.

What fight were these commentators watching ? He looked fresh af and the other dude looked like an alien

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.

This is the kind of Boxing I love watching Both Boxers are warriors... All Heart, Blood Sweat and Tears

Chavez wasn’t humiliated, he was victorious.

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.

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!

Yes, Chavez's fists were completely humiliated by Taylor's face

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 ❤️🙏🏽

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 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

Thank For Bring This Memories Back This Fight Was Amazing

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"

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 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

Chavez......our Mexican Papito !!!!! We Latinos were proud as hell of him !!!!!!

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.

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!!!!

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.

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.

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.

2 great fighter’s Man fights like this don’t exist anymore rest in peace 80s & 90s 😞

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 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.

@8:58 Chavez is on the verge of going down, meanwhile he dodged 12 shots in a row lmao

Taylor was never the same after these fights with Chavez. He was urinating blood at one point.

That was an amazing display of fighting from both.. I love watching fights that are like that. Reminds me of the first time I saw Pacquieo fight...I couldn't believe it was just non stop throwing punches! Respect

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.

GRACIAS Julio Cesar Chavez ❤ por llenarnos de gloria no soy mexicano pero me siento representado.

This channel is amazing. From the commentary to the editing. 👏🏻

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

The commentators hated 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.

Nunca habrá otro boxeador mejor que el, duelanse pero somos 90% de México País que así lo sentimos.

Seemed like the HBO crew werent calling Chavez's shots when they landed.

Watching the fight with 20/20 hindsight, the stoppage doesn't look so bad seeing how bad MT ended up

The stamina of Mexican fighters is UNREAL

HUMILIATED??? PLEASE, SOMEBODY GET THIS CHILD A DICTIONARY!!!! 😂

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

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.

what a great fight by two great warriors. haven't seen a fight like this in recent times.

Humiliated Chavez killed Taylor career after that fight Taylor was done. The beating he took just finish his career. Chavez was a beast

Ref did the right thing in 1st fight. MT was not responding to the ref

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.

😊JChavez is iconic the toughest mexican boxer i ever watch on since i was a teenager the best Chavez

Both have Heart. Huge hearts. These are warriors. There’s no looser, when you loose the best. That’s my opinion.

when will we aver see this type of fights again?!?🤔🤔 no running, ho hugging, just pure battle!

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.

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.

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!

Awesome Video! Thanks!

Clean win in BOTH fights.

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

I never get tired of seeing this story.

I miss great fights like this those were the good old days

What a fight! Great stuff.

What a pleasure!!!. The commentators saying Julio had lost jajaja

What a high qualty boxing fight, no wonder why its a legendary fight!

Taylor lost a second time and Chavez this second time showed him who was the papa hahahaha😂😂😂😂

This many people keep coming back to this fight because it was just so great!!! 👇

Taylor was a great warrior a very good fighter God rest his soul, Julio was a great champion

Chavez vs Taylor was one of the greatest bouts ever.

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.

Taylor used to have great skills and was. awfully fast. But when you are facing a champion like Julio, a warrior with devastating power, that wasn’t enough. The difference in power punching was abismal. Julio forever!!

Julio is an indigenous warrior. ✊🏾

Thats what dogs do. The first fight was one of the best fights I ever saw.
