Sorry for the small size...but Francis hit Tyson twice, and Tyson grabbed and went down. Looks like a Knock Down...which would have changed the official scorecard to 1 score for Ngannou...1 score for Fury...1 score even, making it a tie.

Looks like a pull down more than a punch down but if the ref called it a KD, that would be a fair call
And don't forget the intentional elbow which could have been a point deduction in the 6th.
Nah...but on the legit knockdown I thought Ngannou was gonna pounce and hammerfist Fury on the ground.
He did a little dance over him instead.
How embarrassing for Fury!
More of a push down. Francis was holding the whole fight getting some wrasslin in. But that specific moment he pushed him down. His left hand didn't hit fury behind the head it was on his upper back and fury slipping he just pushed him down
I tried to make a slow-motion gif full size to show the punch, but that plan didn't work out. But, if you go here...

and choose the slowest playback speed in settings, and watch it full screen @4:02, it looks like it was a punch and not him getting swept down (turn off the sound...it's creepy).
I was thinking the same thing while re watching the fight. He was off-balance, but it looked like he got put down by the punch. I'm okay with it not being a knockdown, but scoring it a KD was acceptable as well.
And I scored it 95-94 Ngannou, the exact same as when I watched it live.
