I didn't get a chance to watch the whole fight until now.
Crawford ate that right hand, didn't go down, tried to grab, then kavaliaskas very clearly pushed him down.
Left forearm to crawford's right rib, pushed him down while his left foot was off the ground. He didn't go down from a punch, he went down from a push. The previous forearm before the pushdown even lifted crawford's torso.
If that was ruled a knockdown in the fight, I wouldn't have protested, but seeing the replay and the slow motion clip, it was clearly not a knockdown.
