Taylor died as a result of this bout. (Journal of Combative Sport: Boxing Fatalities Data)
Taylor had been a 3-1 favorite, but he ran into trouble in round three, being down for an 8-count. He came back to win the 4th round by a narrow margin, but took a trouncing from Joseph in the fifth. A right uppercut connected in round six and Taylor went down "like he had been hit by lightning." He never regained consciousness.
