Absolute Disgrace!!!

Price was leaning against the ropes so was fair IMO to call it a standing knockdown.

Pretty much, the fact he was being held up by the ropes is key. It excuses the ref, but you could see him thinking.

I actually prefer this way that way morons cant cry about an early stoppage like in so many fights

This too.

It should be questioned. Has Price been in there with a real hard hitter he could have been permanently damaged while the ref stood around giving him the extra British chance.

Nothing but bile from you tonight. You wait around and wait around until a UK fighter loses then comes an outpouring of needless hate. It's not Europe's fault the US doesn't have any top HWs or CWs. Go watch the little 10st guys if you want to feel patriotic.

There is a difference between leaning on the ropes and being held up by them.

The rules say it is a knockdown if the ropes are holding a fighter up, not if he leans on them in the corner. His legs were holding him up.

He made a conscious decision to turn his back on his opponent. The fight should have been stopped at that point with no count.
