Just interested to know if everybody had this as a slip?
To me at least it looks like a shot that connects, nothing to really hurt Marvelous but enough force to put him down.

It's around the 2:30 mark.

A slip caused by a punch, technically a knockdown by the letter of the law I guess, if the ref doean't call the punch landing towards the back of the head.

Hagler certainly didn't agree.

Thing is Hagler wouldn't have gone down if he hadn't been clipped by the punch.

This is a no-brainer. The punch was to the back of the head. Should not have been ruled a knockdown. The ref missed it.
