Bradley was NOT knocked down in Round 1 Video proof

Left hook at 0:43 and Bradley is going down. Clear KD

 

I concurr!
I dont see Ruslan pushing Bradley down. It looks like Bradley was falling foward looking to grab onto Ruslan from the shots that had landed and Ruslan pulled the wool from under him.
Knockdown imo!

 

Def a KD.....Ref missed that one.

i dont see how you dont call it a KD what push you know causes a guy to get up and do tumbling routine from gymnastics?

 

He hits Bradley and Bradley drops his guard and is obviously stunned comes back a little bit down and tries to hold on for no reason...
Definatley a knock down
Thanks for the vid made my mind up about it definatley now was a KD :good

 

Are you for real? Instead of bothering to look at actual FOOTAGE, you're choosing to go by a still photograph? Explanations have already been given for why a person's gloves/arms will be placed (just placed, not pushing!!) on someone's head/back if they're being tackled.

 

Likewise, since falling into your opponent's waist (like you're trying to take them to the ground) is an acceptable tactic, more boxers should use this from now on when they're hurt. Because if the opponent happens to touch your back -- which he should know better and should not have done nut -- it'll automatically be ruled as him pushing you to the floor :happy.

Cotto also got an eight count to recover. If Bradley was given an eight count, he likely takes it on a knee and doesn't rise with the same amount of difficulty. But even if he does, then Russell still has the opportunity to check into Bradley's eyes and and invite him to step forward; much like he did in the 12th.

 

I love it when "video proof" actually makes the opposing argument.

 

It could easily be mistaken for a push down at first glance, but when Timmeh did his Judah act it was as clear as day for everyone watching the fight.

Problem was the ref already ruled it a slip before that.

If someone still "believes" it wasn't a KD after various replays and the wobbly aftermath he really needs a checkup.

 

Or Hopikins-Tito in the 12th as well.

 

Knockdown, thanks for the video.

 

Yep definetly a KD.

Not only is Timbo lucky that didn't get called a KD, he could have easily been TKO'd from the all the staggering after getting up.
