    End of 3rd round. I watched the fight but missed this part. Some people are saying it could have been ruled a kd.

    Thought he caught his foot in some advertising boardings.But he was definitely caught moments earlier. Have to watch the fight again.

    It was mostly a slip due to his foot being caught by the advertising, but he took a shot and went down/held up by the ropes so technically it should have been given.

    a delayed reaction from a shot to the temple, at first its like "wtf?", but if you watch it again it was actually a good shot, the second KD was more being flustered from a barrage of punches, the last shot on the chin was a beauty

    yep combination of a decent finish and a "I will take my pay check as I can't win this fight" attitude from the Italian. Bet we see him have one more low level fight in Italy to get a W and then retire for good.

    I don't think it was a knockdown tbh. His glove didn't touch down although he was held up by the ropes but that was more of a balance issue.

    He got caught, it should be a kd but it was partly to do with his back foot catching the advertising and his front foot not being in a great position. About time his stupid walk off got him in trouble. The way he moves side to side is often stupid and just puts him out of position. Stay in position always as you've got someone trying to punch you int he face.

    Definitely a knock down!

    The commentators didn't even speculate that it was a KD, terrible stuff from Rawling.

    It was a knock down because a punch knocked him of balance. It clearly shows in the video he has slipped.
