    Getting stunned by a punch and then 10 secs later pushed to the ground doesn't count as knockdown.

    sounds good. about 2:40 in the first round he gets rocked, around 2:53 he goes down

    it's tough to call but he was on ***** street from one punch and took a short left JUST before he went down. you get hit by a punch and go down, it's a knockdown

    :deal I agree. Just watched it again. If anything, it shows how strong Vitali's chin is. That was a wicked straight left landing flush on Vitali's chin. He was stunned then Corrie pushes the back of Vitali's head down and his right knee touched the canvas for a about a second. I agree with the ref not callling it a KD :good

    No actually Vitali destroyed Sanders who was never a contender after the horrible beating he took from Vitali's fists. Credit to Sanders for not going down :good

    Vitali has never been HW champion anyway. He's been a belt holder. And he got floored off Sanders whether the ref called it or not.

    :lol: I won't argue whether or not he was 'floored', but if you have to us e this one incident, then obviously you are stretching for something.

    That would be like Zab bragging he dropped Floyd, when it was just a glove touch. Technically right by rules statndard, but NOT the same.

    So Michael Buffer was wrong all those times he introduced Vitali as the HW Champ of the world?? :lol:

    You define "floored" as being pushed on the back of the head, landing on your right knee for one second and getting right back up with the ref ruling no KD? I think your grasping at straws on this one :yep
