Is holding a rope consider a knockdown?

[sparked_85]

Holding onto the ropes from a big punch seems foolish.

see Maccarinelli/Haye.

Though it is a knockdown.

I remember Amir Khan losing his balance and hanging onto the ropes, it was a knockdown. That was from about 0.1% of the damage Pac inflicted for the 2nd 3rd round knockdown.

You are talking about round 3 of the Marquez-Pacman fight, so no, that was not a knock down.

Lols.

Talk about double standards eh?

He was holding it not because he was falling down but because he wants to clothesline Pacquiao so Manny would be the one to fall down. Right....

theres no other reason to hold the rope

damn that gif of Calzaghe is hilarious.

Could he have made Bika look anymore wild?...lol

Yes,Marquez holding the rope to prevent going down.That would be counted a KD.SO i SCORED ROUND 3 10-8 pac. TOTAL 116-112

someone post a gif or footage instead of just complaining. i also could have sworn that a punch that JMM landed on Pac caused him to go down, but it was ruled a slip.

[SnoopySmurf]

Someone post the clip of JMM holding the rope.

I don't know what the rule books say, but i've always seen it as the fighters responsibility, his choice - take a knee(like Haye did against Mormeck) or hold onto the rope and try and fight it out.

It most definitly was many people have pointed it out, Marquez could have easily lost round 3 10-7.
