I think if a boxer is knocked over from a punch and is held up by the ropes then its supposed to be counted as a knockdown.

i thought so!

[Derranged]

Yes, the ropes held him up, thats a knockdown. Referees often miss those kind of knockdowns.

Of course the bias commentators ain't gonna say **** about it.

[Postman prat]

Lol,boxers always do this.They know exactly were they are.

[Sweet Jesus]

No it shouldn't. He knew where he was in the ring, he used the ropes on purpose.

[stefl14]

The ropes probably did keep him up. However most referees dismiss it as a slip when this happens especially when the fighter isn't hurt at all.

[monkeyboy]

Why Yes. Yes he should.
As should Ali V Foreman. Ali was knocked down hundreds of times in that fight.
Foreman used what I like to call the old 'rope-a-dope' on Ali by knocking him down on the ropes for almost the entire fight.
What an astute thread!
