Description
Entering the eleventh round, the battle transformed into an all-out war of attrition. Having taken Taylor's absolute best power shots in the previous frame, Chávez recalculated his risks, willing to absorb combinations if it meant setting up clean, fight-ending blows. Meanwhile, Taylor's relentless pace began taking a visible physical toll; his movement slowed and his swollen eyes drastically impaired his peripheral vision.
Chávez capitalized on Taylor's declining mobility by executing a crisp pivot to the outside, carving around Taylor's guard with a crushing right cross. Though Taylor courageously answered back by mimicking the same pivot-turn maneuver before the bell, he was visibly battered and fading fast. With only three minutes remaining in the bout, Taylor held a clear lead on the scorecards, leaving Chávez with just 180 seconds to produce a miracle knockout.
