Explain to me how this isnt a knockdown

[johnm is...]

Get punched, slip on infamous/notorious/problematic ring ad, fall down.

Not a knockdown.

Some refs better at making this call than others. All are NOT knockdowns.

Did he slip because it was slippery? Or did he slip because he threw one of his infamous/notorious/problematic wide ass punches while getting clocked in the face?

When you get punched, and you go down, it's a knockdown. You can make all the excuses in the world for the guy. It doesn't change what actually happened.

And the FACT is that the ref made the call in the ring (that it was a slip) and your OPINION is more than just a little meaningless at this point. That's a FACT!

Another FACT is that referee's don't always get the call right. And there's video evidence that proves I'm right.

So you, and the referee are both wrong.

[Light_Speed]

You talk about logic, but you're arguing that a guy getting hit with a perfectly timed shot, has nothing to do with him falling down.

You talk about logic, and then give an OPINION, and say "of course he wouldn't have", when you don't have any idea what would have happened.

The FACT is that he got punched, and went down. The FACT is that, that is a knockdown. Anything else is purely speculative.

If somebody gets hit by a quick arm punch that doesn't seem to bother him and then slips on the ring advertisement a second later it's not a clear cut knock down.

Slip or knockdown?



Or were you just not born yet?

Yeah, if you get punched, then don't go down, and THEN you slip, of course that's not a knockdown.

When you get punched, and YOU GO DOWN. That's a knockdown.

This is a hilarious argument you guys are making here. The ref missed it. It's OK, though. At least he got his ass kicked clearly enough that they couldn't rob Hopkins.

[fitefanSHO]

At least he got his ass kicked clearly enough that they couldn't rob Hopkins.

And on this, we agree.

LOL, seriously?

We can knit pick certain situations that support each of our arguments, that happened in OTHER fights. That doesn't change what happened in THIS fight.

Hopkins knocked him down, it wasn't counted as a knockdown.

[Chups]

Not to Canadians. He's a hero.

Just askin, slip or knockdown?

[Light_Speed]

Yeah, if you get punched, then don't go down, and THEN you slip, of course that's not a knockdown.

That's exactly what happened but it happened so quickly that you think the punch made Pascal go down.
