Did Holts knock down in the beginning of the fight count as one or two knock downs?

[ACHlLLES]

Bradley got up then took a knee. Doesn't a knee technically count as a knock down since Zab Judah took a knee against Cotto. Or was it counted as two knock downs? I don't know how the rule works. To me it should have counted as two knock downs even if Holt didn't technically knock him down two times in the first round.

[Komander]

It counts as 1 knockdown. He got up too quickly from the KD and decided to take a knee to recover.

Im not exactly sure on the rule for this but to me it counts as one knockdown because the ref had started the count before he took a knee. Had the ref finished the count and allowed the fight to continue, and then Bradley took a knee, that would probably count as another knockdown.

[MANGLER]

That was ****in weird, but it was only 1 KD.

So, a fighter can effectively take almost EIGHTEEN SECONDS to recover?

Could Tim have stayed on his back for a NINE COUNT THEN TAKE A KNEE FOR ANOTHER NINE COUNT?

where? What state? what governing body?

[Ryn0]

No, it has to be caused by a punch or to avoid further punishment. He just took a knee to clear his head and get his legs back.

What state? Unifications use the unifed rules, no 3 KD rule, cannot be daved by bell, only ref can stop the fight etc.

Doesn't mention the get up and take a knee theory.

[DiegoFuego]

No, it has to be caused by a punch. He just took a knee to clear his head and get his legs back.

that's not true at all. if you are tired and take a knee without getting punched, it's still a KD.
