Dicky Eklund ward knocks down Sugar Ray Leonard the fighter real !!!

[monkeyfights22]

I take tht back he didn't even punch He jus shoved sugar down when he tripped in his foot

[monkeyfights22]

He did land a small inside punch but sugar obviously tripped over his foot too n ward sorta shoved him down

[RYANSgingerPUBEZ]

I think sugar ray was awsome but i still think tht was a knockdown mayyyybe a push

[lucky44124]

stepped on Sugar's foot.

[mariermmrm]

I have just watch the movie THE FIGHTER that's why I just curious if he realy knockdown Leonard....its a PUSH...anyway its a nice movie..

[thesportster1714]

watch his right fist drive into sugar rays face. KNOCK DOWN

[codyshrewsbury]

He caught him with a short right hand right on the button and his legs gave out its was a knockdown

[YouKnowThatYouDont]

push and a trip

[joseymaru]

He threw a right and Leonard trying to avoid the left lost his balance, still by rule it should be a knockdown..Its like saying that a bodypunch didn't cause a KD, and that it was the pain..

[powersliding]

he pushed sugar ray, priod

[Northern00000Ireland]

Anyone who say's that is a knockdown is deluded.

[nastyevilninja]

@Northern00000Ireland People often stay down for a 10 count after a mere slip, do they?

[Northern00000Ireland]

@nastyevilninja It looked like he was shoved to the ground to me. Im just sayin what i can see.

[rcknrllcwby]

You can clearly see Ray's left leg getting caught behind Dickies left leg as Ecklund shoves him to the ground. If you can't see the truth then you should probably get your eyes checked. I'm sure it was accidental but that's what happened.

[zerocobra444]

well he did trip but dick made him trip

[GridironFimlz]

everyone checkout my channels highlights and tell me what you guys think

[mobsterz187]

He knocked him out str8 up fuck haters !

[AZNOUTLAWZ918]

Trip+ push all I see

[mrmatteezy4sheezy]

Watch the feet. As soon as sugar ray was slipping ward caught him on the button

[Alberto97al]

Sem dúvidas Sugar Ray NÂO tropeçou!!!

Ele ficou tempo DEMAIS no chão para ter tropeçado!!!

[MATAL0730]

a trip and a push from a crackhead

[PARTHURT]

AXTJudoStarz And? I think we were mentioning someone trash talking a man good enough to fight for the championship of the world!

In boxing that is!

[mazystarr]

thumbs up if marky mark brought you here.....

[DonasKingas]

@mazystarr Thumb your self motherfucker! Oh, how much I dont like these thumbs up kids like you bitch!

[bills29]

@DonasKingas man i hate those fuckin losers too like get a life, thumbs me up if you agree

[robp2k11]

blatant push

[lethal8917]

Dicky puts a quick smack into his chin as sugar ray is stepping back and dicky is moving into him.... The jolt the chin makes sugar rays right leg shocked and sugar rays feet dont balance with his movements and he falls back.......the quick shot to the chin causes him to slip up during his steps so it's both, lucky timing for dicky

[Opperschaap187]

slip



[THISISLolesh]

I cant believe people are really argueing about this, it was a push, you SEE both hands come out and shove him. Dick was a good fighter anywho.

[UniqueHero1]

He wouldn't have laid down like that it'd it was a push. He would have rushed to get up

[mahender6969]

that was slip.

[dempsey981]

i dunno i watched it 3 times,i thought it was a real fast risin lft hook?didnt seem like a push

[sugarlanskee8]

What has happened with the newer criminal charges?

[kenzothecat]

It doesnt matter if he pushed or punched with two fist at the same time... It also doesnt matter if Sugar trips ... When ur tired ur legs start to do crazy things... Every athlete knows this... But its a fact that Sugar went down !!! U cant argue about this !!!

[7dogs1cat]

he slipped,no doubt about it

[Philo9015]

he slipped away look on his left foot @ 0:14

[5TRYD4]

Push

[rupang1999]

FYI ppl who say he tripped well if he did he would of said he fell

its clearly a knockout although no punch came but it cannot be a trip cos he didint say anything bout tripping

[AngryRussianMobBoss]

high on crack street. watch it and you'll find dicky

[LordTariq83]

that was clearly a push..not a knockdown

[dearteking1]

@LordTariq83 thats why he layed oon the ground for so long? Fucking idiot. If you watch closley you can see he clearly punched him before he fell

[LordTariq83]

@dearteking1 i just watched i 5 more times...i saw no punch only a push....and maybe he layed down so long because even getting pushed onto ur back can knock the wind out of u..that i know for a fact cuz its happened to me b4 during a match

[JovaniNike101]

Okay if he "slipped" then why would he be on the ground that long

[ethanb27]

Ive seen the fighter and thats a good representative of what happend as dicky ekland is acctually on set andhe says it was a knock down but watchin that he clearly pushed him

[RhaegarTargaryen1884]

for somebody who tripped, Sugar ray sure did stay down a long time.

[SKILLvsPILLS]

@RhaegarTargaryen1884 There's no rush to get up if your not on the count...

[RhaegarTargaryen1884]

@SKILLvsPILLS Exactly he took full advantage of being on the canvas to recover. I consider it a knock down. 

[Omegalucario98]

@RhaegarTargaryen1884 Haven't you seen horror movies?

[Kanije57]

i just watched the movie. Dicky !! Dicky !! Dicky !! A good brother you are.



[higgies82]

@Kanije57 Your brother must be a real piece of shit if you think Dicky Eklund is a good brother.

[LS1VY]

@higgies82 exactly what your brother thinks of you...

[Njoydashow1]

That was definitely a loss of balance on Leonard's part, which led to a slip and fall. That was no knockdown.

[ds2985]

Body shot then a little push I know if I was pushed I wouldn't stay on the ground that long this vid does not show that

[BrazilskiFarmer]

but Dicky lost

[phxboxingfan]

He stepped on Rays left foot.

[BSJWright]

He pushed Ray Leonard, clearly lol

[blupheonix44]

Smokin' crack, smokin' crack Smokin' crack, smokin' crack Smokin' crack, smokin' crack.................. Bale plays the perfect crackhead! So manipulative. And the woman who plays the mother, is the real mother that clueless...

[Theobrothers]

Ecklund put on a decent fight but are people seriously so dense that they can watch a video, see two gloves move forward in a pushing motion, a man fall over another mans left leg and still call it a knockdown?

Youtube leaves me with no hope for humanity.

Seriously

[yanegwa1]

he pushed sugar ray

[stumpzification]

surely if he 'slipped' or got 'pushed' then Sugar Ray would've got up?

[MrArulz123]

@stumpzification HE DID

[stoenyce]

YEA!!! HE KNOCKED HIM DOWN BY PUSHING HIM LOL

[cyclo1224]

kinda looks like he pushed him and leonard might of tweeked his right knee or leg?? but i wasnt there so who knows

[13Doses]

IF it was a slip why did Sugar Ray stay down for so long and let Ward walk over him? It was a knockdown.

[JonnydaSilva1]

@13Doses Ever fought so much until you're so tired that once you fall, you don't have the motivation/energy to get up anymore? Might've happened in this case

[13Doses]

@JonnydaSilva1 Yeah but in MMA training not boxing, but i know what u mean. But then again Sugar Ray did have a heart of a champion so he woulda got up if he wasnt really hurt right?

[PARTHURT]

'Stupid white hope mess', 'boiled garbage'!

Yet the great Sugar Ray Leonard himself said "Dickie Eklund was one of the most difficult opponents I've ever faced!" Proving once again that some people who post on here don't know what they are talking about!

Let's face it, there were not many people good enough to get into a ring with Sugar Ray, Dickie Eklund was! WERE YOU!

In fact, I bet you were never good enough to step into a ring with anyone!

[FifaComunity]

@PARTHURT Im good enough to step into the ring with someone.

[RiChBoY2696]

@PARTHURT u right but he kinda did trip

[AXTJudoStarz]

@PARTHURT think again about me lol. Im not talking trash but look at my channel name.

[docileomnivore]

@PARTHURT *WERE YOU?*

[mercuryceline]

Looked like a push to me

[apacman35]

foot stomp technique followed by a right hand . good shit dicky!!!

[redflooch]

He was on his way down anyway. KNOCKDOWN!!!

[Blake472]

He tripped ray. Stupid white hope mess.

[dmk1979]

Thumbs up if you think this Eklund character is boiled garbage.

[FinuteD1]

yeah id say push

[boogerfacedmonster1]

if you look at dickeys foot it slightly moves in front of sugar ray just enough to trip him

[nantyboy]

Looks like a push to me.

[Siinz0flife]

he got him with the right i would say a knockdown.

[VIVAlaResistance4881]

Would say an assisted slip. But hey its a fight your ment to stay on your feet.... so a knockdown, correct

[MrAlfiepants]

more like a push but thats boxing i suppose.

[ThAtB0yFaEfiNtRY]

he tripped.

[jasonweir1989]

looks like he did trip its hard to tell though cus he throws a punch at the exact same time, only the two fighters will ever know

[MegaSlayerr]

Funny how he was hurt when he got back up lol

[EzacTrenton]

It looked like a punch with the power of a push as Lenord was off balance tbh so I would rule it knock down if I were refereeing

[LOPS666Orange]

that is call a pushdown...not a knockdown...

[spinert]

The fight was fixed lol :-$

[bugs8463]

KNOCK DOWN BY 2 THINGS TIREDNESS AND THE HELP OF DICKYS RIGHT GLOVE

[kieranmatiz]

100 percent push

[bonehead1603]

IT WAS A PUSH FOR SURE , RAY LEONARD WAS HURT WHEN HE HIT THE FLOOR . I MEAN JUST LOOK AT THE WAY HE FALL , IT WAS STRAIGHT BACK .

[thedirtys2006]

pushed.

[Ashlieisbored]

Lol Dicky pushed him down for sure

[SomeLittleShoe]

Look at Leonard's left leg. He couldn't move it to keep his balance. He tripped.

.

You decide? Pretty easy decision.

[themattman228]

push

[dennbb]

It was a push. Leonard knocked Dicky down twice for real

[abdi1983]

lol joker that was a push

[toby099]

doesnt matter anyway sugar ray is an all time great , englund is a bum , stop riding his dick just cause you watched a movie about him

[Lava1964]

Push--for sure.

[g323g]

Push

[supremozx1]

Push

[jimmah1967]

definite push

[boyizzy]

@ badvboynofear what program did u use for this video??? plz let me know.

[E6DOG]

who gives a fuck what it was,its just great to see that gobshite on his arse

[SirMark420]

i think he was pushed or lost balance but sugar ray couldn't get him in that fight much i think he just gave up he must have just accepted that dicky was the better boxer and instead of getting a more embarrassed beat down later on he took the easy way out with the accidental fall but thats just my opinion

[ishootme]

Looked to me like he lost his footing because up the few hits he took. Now call me a fucking stupid like everyone else.

[Aaron789rules]

It was a knock out. If. It was a push he wud get back up

[Wamz1978]

it's a fucking push, you morons

[DeathWish1974]

PUSHED

[mach9jr]

Dicky caught him with an uppercut. You would need to look really close to see it.

[tagadef023]

thumbs up if you came to see this after watching the fighter

[hh05lj]

@tagadef023 

[Defenseman619]

it was both

[jabhitmove]

The only reason Leonard stayed down for them 4-5 seconds was most likely to get a quick breather, which i think is a smart move when you got to fight a fair few rounds. No hating please people i'm a big fan of boxing and its only an opinion.

[dcdean01]

Jesus.. relax people. Knock down, shove, trip... as much as the sport needs to pretend otherwise, these things are not always mutually exclusive causes.

[MrWolf0695]

Before you call someone Irish bum how about you get in the ring with him in his golden years. So quick to judge a person but I bet he or his brother or sugar could knock you down easily.

[JLOZANO2]

THAT LOOKED LIKE A PUSH TO ME THAN SUGAR RAY TRIPPED AS HE FELL BACKWARDS . THE ONLY HIGHLIGHT OF THIS IRISH BUMS LIFE. I HEAR HE GOT INTO SOME MESS AGAIN.

[cocotazo]

Ecklund had 29 pro fights, and only knocked out four of those opponents. Yet he knocked down Leonard, the fighter who couldn't be knocked down by boxers like Hagler (62-2), Kalule (36-0), and Benitez (38-0). The numbers don't lie, Ecklund never had the power to knock down a fighter with Sugar Ray's chin. Kudos to Dickie for going the distance, but the knockdown was a push.

[brianfulwood2012]

a knock down. definitely. if he tripped, he woulda jumped right back up instead of laying there

[goatsmilk234]

he was pushed. but hear this out. There is nooo way he would have laid there for that long if Dicky hadnt been hitting him hard

[RICRICARDO100]

What fuckn diff. does it make? What if or not? Good fight!

[p2662m]

Just look at Dicky's left lower leg. He clearly tripped Sugar Ray while pushing him. Anyone could do that. I learned that in self defense class.

[Ish7825]

knock out or knock down by push is classic if it works use it

[tito412able]

it was clearly a push but if somebody pushes u down and you cant get back up............................­then you got knocked the fuck out (smokey v)

[darkschneider31]

he just slipped it's obvious

[eggjones1]

Ray was moving backward, Dick stepped on his fool and struck or pushed him while he was going backward and off balance. I can see how this could be scored as a knock down in real time. There was no instant replay. But I don't see it as a slip, maybe a push.

[gauthier527]

Still a knock down,Facts. Regardless of the circumstances

[Kedbuka]

He stepped on his foot and pushed him = knockdown. Any halfwit can see that. What, are you guys fuckin' stupid? What a bunch of idiots.

[Jacklgf]

both happened. Ray slipped, which caused Dicky to be able to knock him down. The slip happened first. Dicky probably saw him slip, so he aided the fall.

[82MichaelRay]

I second that opinion! If Sugar Ray wasn't hurt he would have stood up immediately! But only Sugar Ray knows what happened to him.

[jdowl40]

if sugar ray got pushed down he wouldve got back up so dicky eklund knocked down sugar ray leonard

[veganboxer]

he was pushed while slipping or off balanced

[bronco200005]

DICKEY IS JUST A DICK!! SORRY BUT I JUST HAD TO GET THAT OFF MY CHEST FOR SOME WEIRD REASON LOL

[ReduceGHGs]

A push, clearly. But, it helped make a good movie!

The Fighter

[thewelshviper]

that was a push

[ar83es]

The knockdown in itself was not a knockdown, but he might have been dizzy from another punch cause he is falling very easy. You can clearly sea the push in the moment where Leonard starts falling backwards. His hands are reaching for the floor which indicates that it wasn´t a clear knockdown.

[Easy11019]

How can anyone say it was a knock down. Eklund didn't even throw a punch. He clearly pushes Leonard as he was stepping back. He fought a great fight with one of the best fighters of all time he should be proud of that, not of a knock down that didn't happen.

[reeseman67]

Regardless, he knocked don/pushed(bit of both?), whatever you wanna call it a man who had yet to experience that, and I don't think anyone can deny this dude HAS HEART!!

[IIGoofyII]

@arabboxer21 I guess u watched the movie.

[8888eight8898]

Looks to me like it was a bit of both...

[dconley41]

hey dickey did it give him some credit the guy was in the ring with sugar ray i call it a knock down i think he would have gottin up a little faster other wise i remember that fight i was just a kid and thought it was amazing good for you dicky

[Zachrydaman]

I was ringside that night. When Sugar Ray fell he said "Dam this ring" I don't know about you fellas but for me thats enough proof that he didn't get knocked down. The ring was quite slick that night compared to what a boxing ring should be.

[juninhofreekick]

clear push

[fluidjazz]

Eklund stood on Rays foot as he moved backwards, it wasn't a knock down period.

[capt19kaiseroll]

@fluidjazz he layed there...he didnt get up, dick stepped over him and he continued to lay there? espn did a thing on sugar ray and it showed that whole clip, he layed there for a good 4 seconds after dick stepped over him..how isnt that a knock down

[fluidjazz]

@capt19kaiseroll because he didn't knock him down! I repeat Eklund stood on Rays foot as he moved backwards, having been a boxer in my younger days this happened to me a couple of times sparring, no matter he took a while getting up. He wasn't knocked down he was tripped.

[capt19kaiseroll]

@fluidjazz um and then did you stay down, let someone walk over you, continue to lay there and roll your head like your dizzy? oh yeah i def do that in a fight, i just lay there when i get tripped

[fluidjazz]

@capt19kaiseroll I've decided....loooks like you have too.)

[Dempsey2626]

@capt19kaiseroll  knockdowns aren't about the amount of time you spend on the canvas, they're about how you ended up there. By that logic a shot to the balls where a guy stays down would be a knockdown also.

[m0neymayweather]

@capt19kaiseroll uh its not a knockdown because Dicky didn't land a punch to drop him, he PUSHED him down with 2 hands lol learn the rules noob

[illuminatiCannibal]

@capt19kaiseroll cuz he was pushed not punched u idiot. U can see the guy shove Leonard right on the video u stupid fuck, there is no argument, and there is legitly NO knockdown. If that ref scored that push a knock down he's fuckin retarded.

[agarrat76]

If i was pushed and tripped i wouldve laid there also in shock

[elmaxidelsur]

push

[TheJoeconrad]

Trip

[EVILSPAWN1000]

Why not give Dick Eklund the curtesy of calling it a knockdown? If it was a push,so be it.But Sugar Ray sure as hell came out of it better than Dick Eklund so why not let him have this one?

[IslandersLIFE4]

Ok so what he pushed him. Good for him. He went the distance with one of the best figthers of all time. What have most people done close to Dicky? He was in the SHOW. How about that. He went the distance with Sugar Ray Leaonard. If you wanna bash the guy bc of drugs fine, but like Micky he was a great undedog with tremendous heart from what I have seen. I have not seen him fight but he did train Micky Ward who was a great underdog.

[metalhead2133]

Does it really matter? Dick Eklund got knocked down twice during the fight and he lost the fight. Knocked him down or not. He still lost

[JimBowie1133]

clearly he stepped on his foot and pushed him down, no knock down

[nbnyblake62]

it was a push but ray stated it was a tough fighter who wouldn t stop coming even after being hit with some wicked shots.big props for dickey.tommy whooped rays ass,ray was great and has his place.ray only embarassed him wit comedy no he never hurt duran. duran got in dat ass in first fight.

[capoeiraike]

If you can't tell that was a push you are fucking retarded. Oh and why did SRL stay down so long? Uhhmm perhaps it was to get an extra rest.

[3029283]

push

[joeysixtysix]

Leonard sure stayed down a long time if it was a push or a slip. He looked a bit surprized.

[fezban555]

Slip...

[DreStur3]

Sorry fellas but it does look like a push...dicky used both of his arms? Who punches with both arms? It was a push.

[vincewega171074]

Dickie definately knocked Sugar down!!!! Just believe!!!



[nts03]

hagler and duran both shouldve stepped on leonards foot and knocked him the F out. true fighter of the 80s is thomas hearns!

[MrThechump]

@mynameisnigel

Ur an idiot straight up dont talk shit about shit you dont know

[nasoszeppos]

that was a penalty!!! the referee should have whistled!! penalty I say! inside the area!! david beckham will take the penalty and it's a...

gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­al!

[Mynamesnigel]

this is FAKE. Dicky Eklund is the guy from The Fighter - the documentary. Nicely simulated.

[iFUBAR2036]

@Mynamesnigel This is real footage of the real fight, not a "simulated fake". The guy you see in this clip and in the HBO documentary "High on Crack Street: Lost Lives in Lowell" is the real Dicky Eklund. The guy you see in "The Fighter" is Christian Bale. "The Fighter" is a movie aboutn the life of Micky Ward and Dicky Eklund. The documentary "High on Crack Street" is a crack cocaine documemtry that featured Dicky. And BTW...its a push not a punch and was ruled a slip by the referee
