Down down in an earlier round is a term used in the sport of boxing to describe a situation in which a boxer is knocked down twice in the same round. This can be a serious situation, as it can lead to the boxer being stopped by the referee.
There are a number of reasons why a boxer might be knocked down twice in the same round. They may have been caught with a clean punch, they may have been off balance, or they may have simply made a mistake. Whatever the reason, being knocked down twice in the same round is a dangerous position to be in.
