And for once in their lives they were right. And he still hasn't been knocked down. I don't know what this guy here is talking about.
He's talking about 3:16 of the youtube link when Duhaupas was knocked down.

Where was he knocked down in that 2009 Bikoi fight? He KO'd Bikoi in round 3.
Check just after
3:00 and you'll see Duhaupas floored by this much smaller guy who had about a 25% KO ratio.
NBC commentators were not being honest, they were just building up Duhaupas to make Wilder look better.

Oh you guys are right. I missed that flash knockdown as I had just kind of jumped my way through the video in which D. was totally dominant and won by KO in round three. But yep you're right, it was a knockdown.

on fight night no one mentioned that. wlad
ran out of gas because he fought for the first
time on a big stage in his home country and
tried round after round to land a KO against
a veteran that was too tough to do him that
favour.

He threw like a hundred punches a round before he collapsed. Making up excuses--as our new Dutch friend is doing--is just asinine & leads one to look foolish.
See also: the poisoned vaseline which somebody apparently coated him in prior (or during? I never quite understood that excuse. Mind, I never understood any of Manny Steward's bullshit excuses. Tommy Hearns got his legs rubbed, & that somehow led to his chin giving out when hit by blockbusters by Marvin Hagler? Puh-lease. Manny was a great trainer, an astute businessman, a wily fella, & a complete & utter bullshit artist of the first water) to the first Brewster fight.
