If you follow the strictest rules of boxing they were knockdowns.
But they weren't *caused* by a punch. The fault was the ring surface where the ad in the center was. Both glove touches were because of that ****** huge ad in the center which is a slicker surface than the actual ring material.
The technical rules say if your glove touches after a punch (even if it's a slip) it's a knock down. So long as your foot didn't cause a trip.
What really caused it was that ****** logo in the center of the ring. They commented on it earlier in the Dawson fight. How both the fighters were losing footing.
That needs to get fixed, the advertisements need to be made into the ring material, they have slick surfaces and are causing problems.
