 With about 30 seconds left in the 12th round, he landed a hard straight right hand on the chin of Taylor, which hurt him badly.Shortly thereafter, he knocked down the former Olympic gold medalist.Although Taylor rose at the referee's count of six, he failed to respond coherently to referee Richard Steele's questions after being issued a mandatory 8 count, and continued to hold onto the ropes in the corner, resulting in Steele stopping the fight with only two seconds remaining.
