According to international boxing rules, when a fighter holds on to the ropes to avoid a knockdown, he should still be given an eight-count and a knockdown score for his opponent.

Morales' case, when he held onto the ropes in the second and sixth round, he should have been counted.

Just read this one in an article and realized morales got away from 2 supposed kd's. if it went to the scorecards, this would have been huge...

that means Morales is behind on the cards in the first 6 rounds by 2 pointts(57-55)

a standing 8 count does not require a fighter to be down, if he is obviously battered by his opponent and does not fight back, he can be given that... in morales's case, he almost went down but held on to the ropes to avoid it... hbo does not make the rules IMHO...

Yeah but the rule was not in affect in that fight, along with most big fights. If it was, dont you think it would have been counted?

There's no doubt this should have been a knock down. He was stunned, and the rope is the only thing that stopped him from going down.
