Explain to me how this isnt a knockdown

[Light_Speed]

The punch didn't cause him to go down. It's when he swung with a counter left hook that his foot slipped on the canvas advertisement.

Because Pascal represents Canada & the fight was in Canada.

quite obviously a knockdown. That's cute how someone above said Pascal's missed punch caused him to go down. As if he would have just went down by missing a punch and had nothing to do with the PERFECTLY TIMED shot to his face

But he didn't slip on ice. Or water. He got punched in the head. It made him off balance, so when he tried to throw one of those wide ass shots of his, he went down. The punch took his ass down. The fact that the wide return punch, or the ring ad might have aided it is irrelevant. He was off balance from the shot that landed. You can't argue that it's not a knockdown.

Pascal stumbles all over the ring on a good day. He throws himself off balance on his own. He doesn't need assistance from ring ads.

Punch in the head + you go down = knockdown.

I think that if his feet had proper traction from a proper canvass ring surface, he would not have gone done from that punch. I believe the punch plus the slippery ad surface created the result. Take away the slippery surface and Jean is able to stay on his feet, that's my opinion and apparently the opinion of the referee who was IN THE RING, and made the call.

Blame Canada. Simple.

Missed punch + slippery surface.

Or, the referee bought into all the fine acting that Mr. Pascal was doing.

Pascal got punched in the head, and he went down. That's as clear cut a knockdown as you, or as the ref "IN THE RING" can get.

But I can see that your entire stance on the issue is "I have the same opinion as the ref who was in the ring", so discussing it with you is pointless.

Why do you think instant replay exists in some sports? Because those NFL officials, who are, ON THE FIELD, sometimes get it wrong.

How many blown calls have we seen in basketball.. from officials who were ON THE COURT.

How many blown calls in baseball... from officials who were, ON THE FIELD.

They don't get it right all the time. And just because you say you have the "opinion of the ref" doesn't make you, or the ref correct.

You get punched in the head, resulting in you falling. That's a knockdown.

Missed punch + slippery surface.

So... a missed punch + a slippery surface, has more to do with getting knocked down, than getting PUNCHED IN THE HEAD ?

Love the logic.

"Sorry, that's only a knockdown if he doesn't miss with his return punch"

No, no...this is as clear cut a knockdown as you can get...

Would Pascal have gone down if you take the slippery surface out of the equation?
