Should a slip be ruled as a knockdown if it is caused by the opponent's slickness?

    Like when Artur Szpilka put up a slickness masterclass and made Wilder trip over his own feet. It reminds me how in action movies the martial arts master makes his opponent fall on a pile of manure by only evading his attacks. Truly beautiful mastery of combat sports, I'd say.

    No, but you should be given a free punch, kind of like a penalty kick.... :boxing1

    Boxing, where the points are made up and the rules dont matter.

    In that case, Canelo would have had a knockdown on Lara. :clap::clap2::clapclap::crybaby2::qmeparto::meparto::treadmill::wave::wave1:

    Nope. There are rules. If you're slick but can't land a punch, it's not much use to you. If a punch is landed, it's a knockdown.
