Thread: Mayweather Knocked Down against Hernandez ??

Just watching Hatton Mayweather 24/7 and it says Mayweather was knocked down against Hernandez ?? Thats all it said along with fact it was cos of a hand injury ?!?

I thought he had never been in serious trouble in the ring - can't find anything on Youtube

Anyone shed any light on this ? Got a clip ?

ta

He wasn't in trouble. He hit Hernandez, hurting his hand. The pain made him double over causing his glove to touch the canvas. He was never hit. But since the ref saw his glove touch the mat he ruled it a knock down.

Then Floyd went down because of the pain.
Ever since Floyd got his azz served by Paul Spadafora during sparring, Floyd has negleted to let anyone film him spar. But again, I don't count sparring as boxing bouts, know what I mean.

Anyway, I hope Floyd does not use this as an excuse to run all night and I also hope he does not use this as an excuse when and if he loses. Those were the words of Ricky Hatton too.

Edited, modified. What Hernandez are you talking about? BTW. I thought you were saying that he was sparring with Hernandez and he was knocked down because I saw Floyd on the canvas during the show.

Floyd landed a punch to the top of Hernandez' head in a fight and broke his hand, the pain caused him to double over and his glove touched the canvas. So technically, Floyd has one knockdown in his career, but everyone acknowledges that he's never been really knocked down.

His glove also touched the canvas against Judah.

nah it was genaro Hernandez in his 15th or 16th fight and he wasnt in a spot of trouble and ended up soundly beating hernandez 4 the title, bt this fight is where his hand problems started that is what was being refered to in the show i think.

Oh, ok thank you. I am going to watch the show right now. CC 173

actually it was the Carlos Hernandez fight and he hurt it in Rd 5 but he continued and won a UD, shows he has got heart. The Paul Spadafora sparring was aparantly due to Floyd running his mouth and getting a beating cause he wasnt in great shape, you can understand why he stopped filming of his sparring tho considering all the s**t he got for it,

That's a good point and completely slipped my mind. That could have been called a knockdown.

I guess instead of me saying, "he's never been knocked down," the better way to put it would be "The one official knockdown of his career wasn't a real knockdown."

No trainer worth there salt is gonna let there fighters sparring get filmed in the run up to a title fight, just to much on the line, Hatton hant been seen sparring either they just decided to mention it in floyds camo.

YOu are wrong... He was never knocked down against Genaro... they both pushed eachother over in the first round, but there was no official knock down. He has only been down once officially against the other Hernandez, Carlos Hernandez, and that was his second last fight at 130 pounds. He also was unofficially down when He came in with a cross to the body against Judah and he was countered by a right hook he wasn't expecting and he knocked off balance which caused him to touch the ground, but the ref ruled it a non-knockdown even though the replays showed it was, However Floyd wasn't hurt, just off balance from an unexpected punch.

That shot in the 2nd Hernandez fight, can anyone confirm it was his left hand?

I'm positive it was, it's just the HBO commentator (can't rememeber who) kept saying that he'd hurt his right hand, hence why he was 'pawing' Hernandez away with his right.

Yet he pretty much never through another left after he hurt what I thought was his left hand!

I know it don't matter either way, just wondered...

Taeth cc bro ur right my bad the carlos fight was the 1 after the chico fight, R.i.p.

It was his left hand, and he hurt the left rotator cuff against Castillo the first fight which limited his jab. He also hurt his right hand against Baldomir, and there were reports that he also hurt it against Oscar Dela Hoya.

I've always looked at it as mayweather technically has been counted as down, but he has never been put down. Seems like mayweather himself is the only one who has put him down, unless hernandez wants to be given credit for having a hard enough head to break floyds hand and make him touch.
