    For me yeah, he was hit, he was put off balance and his glove touched the ground so technically it's a KD.

    Obvious knockdown. Punches put him down. I recall when seeing it live being shocked that it wasn't called. The ref screwed K on that one.

    Absolutely. The Mayweather protection team saved him.

    It technically is a knockdown but I admit I couldn’t tell if his glove hit in normal speed. It was mostly due to the camera angle though; the ref should have seen it.

    no

    crawford goes to the ground because kavaliuskas pushes him with his left arm. Not because of a punch.

    There is absolutely not push. Crawford got stunned and immediately outstretched his arms to initiate a clinch. Kava during Crawfords attempt at the clinch never stopped punching, he punched with both hands to Crawfords sides as Crawford touched canvas.
    Not a big deal, it happens to the best of them.

    Pros

    Egis is a legit banger with serious power

    Cons

    It's probably the only time Crawford has fought one

    Floyd's was DEFINITELY a KD. He wasnt hurt, he was off balance, but still, a punch, no trip, yes KD.

    Im not quite as sold on the Crawford one. Very delayed, lots of wrestling- I dont know.

    His gloved fist was on the deck, so yes.

    I tend to think if a fighter goes down you call it a knockdown unless it is very obvious that it was not the result of a punch.
    Refs today seem to call lots of slips. Too many if you ask me.
