RIP Howard. People that watch this, it isn't considered an ATG fight but it is a fight between two of the fastest fighters ever. This was a big step up for a young Meldrick Taylor, he was only 19 here.

Yeah, Meldrick was 17 winning gold at 1984 olympics, at 11-0 he beat Harold Brazier (who was coming in winning 20 fights in a row and went 20-0-1 after, making Brazier having a 40-1-1 streak losing only to Meldrick until he lost a SD to WBC jr welter title holder Roger Mayweather) At 12-0 he fights 25-3 1976 Gold Medalist Howard Davis Jr (who lost 3 decisions, two close decision losses for a title) Meldrick at 19-0-1 stopped IBF champ 38-1-1 McGirt, after Chavez, Meldrick beat 32-0 WBA welterweight champ Aaron Davis, defended vs 22-0 Luis Garica, and 34-2 Glenwood Brown before losing to WBC jr middle champ Norris and 27-0 Espana

Sparred with Howard in '73 after he won the 126 lb. Golden Gloves sub-novice in NY. Damn, that boy was fast.

Tragic how both these guys ended up...Howard dying of metastatic cancer at 59 and Meldrick suffering terribly from pugilistic dementia. So sad. Howard was always at war, I believe, within himself. He was blessed with first rate athletic ability as a boxer but he was also highly intelligent so he wondered why he was blessed and cursed by his calling as a boxer. He didn't like pain and he didn't like inflicting it.

When watching this fight listen to the commentary regarding Panama Lewis 5:00 and why he can't be in the corner when he's the trainer of Howard Davis Jr, Up until this fight Howard's trainer has been his father (Sr). Panama Lewis was one the most criminal characters in the business, he was in Aaron Pyrors corner the night he fought Arguello and there was funny business with cocaine in the corner as well.

no doubt who the commentators were told to tout in this fight... taylor was to be the next cash cow... the first rnd which was a feeling out rnd where neither fighter did much or imposed any will on the other... yet we heard numerous times how taylor was "dominating"... or how crisp he was... or how slow davis traditionally started... all designed to manipulate oppinions about the fight...

Taylor clearly did the better work in the first, though. His jab pretty much dictated.
