when Dirrell knocked Abraham into the ropes with a left hook. That was the first KD that wasnt counted. The second was when Abraham caught him with a right. That should have been counted as well.

I agree, that ref missed alot of calls that night.

Are you referring the forearm push to the shoulder that knocked Abraham into the ropes in the 8th/9th round(cant remember exactly)?

You know what, you're right. It looked like Dirrell just took off his gloves and just shoved him directly into the ropes.

naw man when AA hit Dirrell his foot was placed behind Dres leg, was not a kd. AA was kd'd when the ropes held him up though Im with you on that.

The round 4 knockdown was correct. Even though Arthur was severly off balance, it was a clear knockdown and was counted as such.

The second "knock down" was a push. Dirrell pushed Arthur's neck with his elbow. It did have some power behind it, and at the moment did look like it could've been a punch. But definitely no knock down. One of the only good calls by the ref that night.

As for Dirrell falling down. I will have to say that was a knock down. If you take very careful look in slow motion from different angles, Dirrell raised his leg before touching Arthur's foot, missed it by about a millimeter. Arthur pulled his leg out just as Andre was falling back, so I can see how it could be mistaken for a knock down. In any case, he was already on his way down even if it grazed it. The only way to say 100% is to see footage from the right side of the ring at that moment, it would provide a level view of the canvas and see both feet from the side. If anybody can find this video, it'd be great. I just want this settled once and for all. The ref cannot be blamed for this, it happened so fast. And had he counted it as a knock down, the Dirrell fanboys would be up in arms over this injustice.
In Dirrell's defense, it was a flash knock down and he didn't seem too hurt by it, though it did give Arthur a much needed boost of confidence.
