This is not a knockdown

[llll]

I didn't watch the fight, but from the GIF only I would be fine with it being called a knockdown.

It doesn't look to me like Kav is holding or throwing him, at least not deliberately. He's trying to punch Crawford's body, while Crawford is trying to hold onto him. Any tugging on his arm that happened in there is at least partly Crawford's fault, and anyway doesn't look like the main reason he went down which was still the first punch.

The only thing Kav got away with there is a punch to the body once Crawford was already down, but it would be a bit nitpicky for a ref to call that out.

When I started posting in this thread, I hadn't seen the fight yet, only the gif. I just recently saw the fight..

.. And seeing the fight and the gif, crawford clearly went down from a shove, not a punch.

It was a knockdown... imo

But many stuffs like that never get called.
For example bradley went tumbling and folding against provonikov and wasn’t ruled a knockdown because of a little wrestling in the end of the hard hit eventhough it was obvious bradley was very hurt.

Crawford got hurt but he hold on and eventually went down.. understandable if it wasn’t called, understable if it was.

To be able to push another man down so easily with very little arm movement means the guy is probably going down already anyway.

Nah, that isn't how it works.

In that position, with the angle of their bodies, it wouldn't have taken much at all to pull Bud off balance.

He was already wobbly, which was from the hit, and he was leaning right forward, because he wanted to cling on for dear life.

You can literally pull someone over with a really small tug in that sort of situation.

Or push, if you happen to be swiveling past their centre of balance.

Agreed that Bud was on the verge of going down. But I don't know if he would have actually gone down without the throw.

The ref ruled correctly.

You're right def a push down

And You had to make your own thread You attention seeker old man? Post the entire sequence.. that shows the big right hand bud ate before that

Well he would of been on the floor wouldn't he if the punch had an affect, you can clearly see he's still standing on his legs and you can clearly see the push down with the elbow, it's in plain sight yet you people want something to be or happen which is not, get a fkn grip of yourselves

[BoZz]

Larry is a sad liar.

He's a liar yet the "footage" shows you a clear push down, I mean something is really wrong with you people

No push.

Besides, i already said i don’t think he was badly hurt. Maybe a bit stunned and found himself in a bad position and went down before he took more shots.

Definitely a knockdown but it doesn’t matter. He got up and won.

[Murcielago]

And what does it matter? Did he lose the fight because of it? No? Then OK, the doors is to your left.

[7NN]

guy clearly threw him to the ground and ya';; want that to count as a knockdown??? how desperate are ya'll?

Threw? are you rly that low? He was trying to punch under Crawford's hand, not throw him. Crawford was hugging him btw.

NOT a knockdown...


More like a, "Oh **** my I can't feel my right leg and I see flashing lights...maybe I should touch the canvas until I can control my legs again"


Yeah.
