    THE BIGGEST FACTOR IS HIS GLOVE TOUCHING THE RING FLOOR.
    I'm aware of how a knockdown works. However if the punch lands at the back of the head it's not a knockdown since it's illegal.

      That's all it is. Both of Al Haymon fighters price themselves out. Although, he does seem to be on twitter a lot.

        it was just behind the ear...not the back of the head

        its what they call an equilibrium shot

          Which is not legal.

          Listen, I don't care one way or the other but I think that screenshot shows it was in the back of his head. If the punch was ever so slightly more forward it would have been a legit shot. Really weren't talking about a half an inch or so

              I see it behind the ear/back of the head.

                    how many times has berto been down, 2 times? That's not too bad though, most guys get knocked down, it's what you do after what counts.

                    Trinidad for example was knocked down like 7 times I think and he's only been stopped once in his entire career. Just about everyone gets knocked down early in their careers

                      Hbo paid berto too much to fight Quintana. I think it was like 3 mil or thereabouts. He seems to think he should be making as much if not more to fight. Problem is, he should have never made that amount to fight a lackluster fighter. He is on twitter all day everyday blaming other fighters for not "wanting" to fight him. Reality is, he's holding out for big money which may not ever come
