    Dempsey was hurt by the earlier right hand that caught him coming out of a crouch as Firpo spun him. The blow that knocked Dempsey out of the ring was a push/punch.

    Thats what I see. I think Firpo lands a punch, but then keeps his right extended, and pushes Dempsey out.

    Yeah, I think push/punch describes it well. A bit of both...

    Always felt it was a push. Punch lands but then Firpo kind of extends his arm and just pushes him out of ring.
