Should Pacquiao vs JMM 2 ROUND 3
Been scored 10-7 for Pacquiao instead of 10-8?
Holding a rope to prevent a knock down consider a knock down,right?

Depends on the refs call and how the judges saw it.

Ref's call is the rule.

No. but if the round wasnt at its peak i think he mighta got knockdown again. The bell saved him.

It should have been but the ref didn't call so it's ok. The first fight should have been overturn for the mistake the judge did on the 10-7 card though. I don't know why team Pacquiao didn't protest though.

Why don't you check the video?Marquez hold the rope to prevent going down.That consider a knock down,right?

[ßringer]

Not unless the referee calls it.

Erik Morales had a similar moment in the 2nd Pacquiao fight I believe, when he was off balance and grasped the rope to regain his balance.

Could have been, but that's a tough call to make. He let go and was ready to fight. It happens. Often times fighters get hit and back up into the ropes and are held up by them, but most would cry foul if that was called a KD.

To me, under those circumstances, you have to literally hold on and keep holding on for it to be a knockdown. An example of this would be the Marquez-Vazquez 12th round in the third fight. Even if he hadnt touched the floor, that should have been a KD and was.
