Gethin- was this a knockdown?

Another dubious one-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zttDYJusLa4 Gethin V Watson. In the last minute Gethin catches him flush, Watson seems to fall and is only being held up by Gethin, so I'd say that WAS a knockdown. Ref didn't count it- if he had done it would have made the fight a draw.

I guess it not being counted made the result fair, because Watson had the fight by a few rounds, not just the 1.

Nope. Watson was hurt, but was also tired. I think Gethin pushed him a little. No knockdown for me.

Never a knock down. Watson wasn't on his way down prior to the clinch and ensuing wrestling match. Watson got clipped with his chin hanging when he was fatigued, but was alert enough to hold on. The drama of the last few seconds should not detract from the fact that Watson outboxed Gethin for most of the fight.
