    did wayne kelly make a mistake? klitschko made a beautiful double 1-2 combination and ibragimov was going down, only the ropes held him up. do you agree?

    this is where wlad should have attacked more. i was quite disappointed he didn't finish him. He had brock and byrd in very similar situations and attacked.

    Afraid not a glove has to touch the canvas for it to be a knockdown, the ropes saving him means nothing as his gloves never touched down.:good

    It was definetly a knock down. He went reeling into the ropes and almost went right through them.. When the ropes hold you up from falling to the floor it has to be ruled a knock down.. It wasnt like his back just grazed the rope, he did like a slingshot and bounced off them

    Yes that was a KD, but it doesn't matter . . . that wouldn't make the fight any better . . . same results anyway.

    It was definetly a KD as Wlad connected with punches and Ibragimov was held up by the ropes. For those that thought it wasn't a KD get some glasses or go watch wrestling and someone jump off the top rope.
