This is not a knockdown

[Arj Guy]

Kava kept throwing, he wasn't having any luck getting the knockdown, so he threw Bud instead.

It happens. In that situation, boxers will trip, push, pull, whatever in the hope of getting the opponent down. The ref was wise to this, had probably seen it happen a thousand times before.

Anyone who knows anything about grappling, and who has a functional set of eyes, saw this.

Since you seem to lack one or the other, why would I care what you think?

Where’s the throw? He keeps punching and Crawford goes down after a left to the body lands because he was still hurt by the big right. The final left was a punch not a push or a throw

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.

If I remember it later, I'll try giving that whole round a watch and come back here. Do you know if there is a view from another angle?

can you imagine not posting the right hand that happened before that and thinking yourself an honest man?

i mean really, how dishonest can you be?

prior to all of that his opponent landed his best punch of the fight, a right hand right on the button. refs don't watch fights in slow motion. you'd be crazy not to call that a knockdown after the right hand landed right in front of you, and crawford held on for dear life [that you didin't show because you're not an honest man.]


sheesh.

YouTube has the fight up AND shows diff angles of it. I dont think it's a kd, personally, but people see things differently.
