Travis Browne dropped by phantom punch?

[matt35750]

I was watching the highlights posted by ufc on fox on youtube of the travis vs lewis fight and the punch at 0:35 that dropped travis looked weird to me, I replayed it in slow mo and despite the commentator calling it a "big right hand" the punch did not actually land. It missed his head by about 2 inches. I have no idea why travis fell but it seemed bizarre to me.

 

[Quietus]

it grazed his head, he was also already staggered from the earlier shots and didn't have his legs under him.

 

[Mondo Freaks]

it hit the "crown" of Browne's head

Travis Dada

 

[209 Life]

He got hit on upper lobe above ear. Takes you stability away instantly

 

[DaleBoca]

Leave the guy alone. He wants to be a stay at home dad.

Fighting for his career, doubt it was a phantom punch.

 

[TehFlame]

If you see another angle, the punch hit him in the forehead

I thought it was a phantom punch too and was confused til I saw the other angle

 

[Mr. Danger Waffles]

There's another thread on this, where it shows 4 still pictures of it. Browne was grazed at the top of his head. It looked weird to me.

The one replay that actually shows the punch landing is from a camera up above the fighters, it looks down on them and you can see it landing clearly. I'm pretty sure they showed this angle during the time when Brian Stann was interviewing BB.

 

[Chomsky Honk]

time stamped

 

[SherdogGoat]

That is all Black beast needs. A little graze and you are fucked.

He took a dive. Heard he bet all his wealth against himself

 

[bellend]

It looked like a wiff but actually made contact with the very top of Browne's head.

 

[Drake]

This.

Looked like it went right across his forehead.
