That''s not what I said at all. I said that the punch did not land. I am not implying in any way shape or form that Eddie took a dive because it is impossible for me to know. But, as I already said, I believe 100% that that punch did not land anywhere but Eddie's left glove. Point blank. But, the richochet effect could've very well hurt Eddie I suppose. Eddie already had one busted glove in that fight from Wlad's power so it is not out of the question that the force from Wlad's glove landing on Eddie's glove which richocheted into Eddie's face could've hurt him.
So you believe Eddie went down without being hit. Why do you think he'd do such a thing with only 10 seconds left and not in say round 2 when he was hurt from a very visible right?

Reason: Missing a word
I've seen the replay from different angles now dozens of times and Wlad's left hook does NOT land. I am not some kind of hater and I don't have an agenda. That punch did not land. When Wlad is throwing the punch, Eddie's guard comes up while he is simultaneously moving back and his head is going back and to the left a bit. The punch never landed folks. The punch hit the inside of Eddie's left glove and Eddie's glove richocheted into his face which caused his head to snap back and that made it look like it was a clean punch. Watch the replays from the different angles as many times as it takes to see what really happened.
Actually, if you do as I asked you'd see that Eddie starts to turn his head to the left a bit before Wlad's glove gets close. His head snaps back because his OWN glove (his left one) hits him in the face as a result of Wlad hitting his left glove. It's a richochet effect of sorts. That punch comes nowhere near Eddie's right temple. If you go to the 4:24 mark, you can see that Eddie's right temple is many inches away from the course that Wlad's left hook traveled.
My argument is quite clear and concise and there is no conspiracy theory. Perhaps you should take the time to watch it multiple times from the three angles or maybe you just need glasses. I'm not asking you to believe me, I'm asking you to objectively look at the slo-mo footage multiple times from the three camera angles.
Everyone on this thread disagrees with you which demonstrates in quite a clear and concise manner that you are in fact a moron.
It did land but the knockout seems unreal. The punch almost didn't land and imo wasn't hard enough. Maybe Chambers just got tired of the constant assault and was taking advantage out of it and decided to end the fight by taking a dive.

That's just crazy. Check Tyson's KO of Berbick. From behind it doesn't look as if the punch lands with any force at all.
Face it: It was a left hook to the sweet temple spot knocking Eddie the fuck out.
