Is holding a rope consider a knockdown?

[abdiel2k3]

yes it is
just like the glove hittin the canvas
if it prevents ya from goin down
KD

[sanga]

asking this question because of the 3rd round of the marquez vs. pacquiao? for that moment i'd say yes.

[*AKO PA HA!]

like Most Have Been Saying If The Ropes Prevent You From Going Down It "should" Be Ruled A Knockdown. And For The Record In The 3rd Round Of The Pac/jmm Fight, Jmm Was Held Up By The Ropes From A Punch. Even Emmanuel Stewart Said The Ropes Held Him Up.

They Should Score The 3rd Round 10-7 Not 10-8.

For some of his fans, JMM simply can do no wrong and cannot possibly lose.
They've got their faces so deep in Marquez's asscrack they can't see BUT ****.
JMM's a very talented boxer, but give me a ****ing break here...

The ***** sat on that rope like it was Asian ****, otherwise he'd have fallen.
He even locked his elbow over it when sitting wasn't going to be enough.

That's a KD right there, and that 3rd round should have been 10-7.
The little ****er didn't even know where his corner was, after that.

I agree that 3rd round should have been 10-7 for Pacquiao.

Holding on the rope to prevent a KD should be counted as a knockdown.
