My point was never to do with wether or not technically it should of been scored as this or that... just as a reminder to fan boys who need to stop chucking knock down around as if it even has the credibility to be called that... outside of sanctioning bodies and rule books we all know what a knock down really is... forgeting rules here if your going to say that thats what fans of boxing would call a knock down then it's been taking to such a watered down level that its not even the same word.
So you're agreeing that it IS a knockdown. You just don't like people taking glory in it because you don't think it was that big a deal?
