I am blind..

They was tangled a bit but that was knockdown was clean. Anytime you hit your opponent weather hes off balanced or not ( just like when Dirrell dropped Abraham) and hes goes down, it should ruled a knockdown.

http://i39.tinypic.com/1z2kow2.gif I might be blind because this looks like a KD to me.. referee was a c*unt for not counting it as a KD

Dirrell should of scored a 2nd knockdown on Abraham though, the ropes were the only thing that kept him up. nope http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/showpost.php?p=7928051&postcount=91

Clear knockdown... Strange fight it was.. The ref was somewhere else in a next fight

I'm undecided. Abraham did land a good right hand which hurt Dirrell but Dirrell's foot did appear to get slighty caught on Abrahams foot. Dirrell should of scored a 2nd knockdown on Abraham though, the ropes were the only thing that kept him up.

look at the legs. no kd look at the punch. its a kd

KD no doubt about it.

Looks like a legit knockdown to me

http://i40.tinypic.com/ncfrjm.gif man this shows what ive been thinking all along. although AA has a tight guard while staying on the defensive this guy leaves himself WIDE open when he punches. you see some of those left hooks he was trying to land on dirrell yesterday?

I don't know how anyone can argue that it isn't a knockdown. Yes their feet got tangled but it was the punch that knocked him off balance

He was partially tripped due to the positioning of their feet. The punch though knocked him back quickly and sent him reeling at a hard angle. Would he have went without the foot being there? Very possible. I would not have had an issue with either calling to be honest. It is a hard one to judge.

http://i40.tinypic.com/ncfrjm.gif dirrell obviously cuffed him and pulled him into the ropes. not even questionable. In normal speed i thought it was a legit KO. Seeing it slow-mo it, looks as the ref got it right By saying it was not a knockdown.

What Dirrell threw looked like a cross between a punch and a push. A 'push-punch' if you will. And after watching the gif, I say it's very borderline and could go either way...

Thanks alot mate, first time iv seen that slowed down. What you fellas think about this one, should it off been a knockdown, or does Dirrell sort of push AA with the inside of his arm? dirrell obviously cuffed him and pulled him into the ropes. not even questionable.

No Dorian, you are not blind- Lawrence Cole is...

Anyone have a GIF for the time when Dirrell put AA down for the second time, but the ref ruled it as not a knock-down. I didnt get to see a replay of that so couldnt see what happend. http://i40.tinypic.com/ncfrjm.gif

Bolded, no way to know that for sure. As I see it, he tried to move his foot backwards as he was hit to catch himself and the slight contact was enough to not allow him to get it back as fast as he would have liked, causing the KD. No, I'm not saying that he def stays up but it's a little unfair to say that he definitely goes down either. Peace, good chatting with you again. I suppose that is a good point. We can not be sure 100% I don't know how the rules go for this but in my opinion it is a KD Of course I'm not an official though :p
