Wonder how much the ref made with this economy.
I am blind..

I can understand you seeing that and all but as a long time boxing observer, usually fighters who are significantly hurt at all don't catch themselves with their arms like Dirrrell did. (kinda like AA in the KD he suffered earlier in the fight when he caught himself going down)
No, I'm not saying it def wasn't a knockdown but either way, if it was or not, he wasn't actually hurt.Comment

Dirrell also got a clear knockdown on Abraham that was called a slip, so it evens it out. From what I saw in replays, their feet were tangled, although the punch started the momentum. Seems that the ref was just focusing on their feet at the time.Comment

He wasn't hurt, that's why he got back up. Also, you can't tell if he would have went down or not without the foot. You really can't, even if the replay makes it look like he would have. All he had to do to regain balance was shift his right foot to catch his weight, and it looks like he was instinctively doing that until he tripped from the tangle up.Comment

that was not a KD. somewhere here made a gif of that. dirrell clearly hooked abraham and pulled him into the ropes.
It's all fair though because technically speaking, Dirrell knocked Abraham down again in one of the earlier rounds and it wasn't called either.
That was the one where AA was punched back into the ropes and was held up by them on his way down had they not been there.Comment

No. I'm saying that Direll was hurt from the punch and was going to go down anyways, regardless of Abraham's foot being there. Abraham's foot was there so it contributed to not being called a knockdown.Comment
