Is holding on the rope to prevent one's fall a knockdown?

:rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

 

It's suppose to be a KNOCKDOWN. End of Statement. Go ask the announcers.

 

Exactly, PNN mentioned Marquez-Vazquez, and that was a good example of the ropes keeping one from falling.....
.....Rafael got hit, and fell back, the ropes clearly preventing his fall.
In fact, Rafael complained that it was'nt a knockdown, but if the ref had not interened to rule it a knockdown, Rafael would have gotten slaughtered by Izzy's continued incoming, as Rafael was'nt in position fallen back against the ropes to defend himself.

The JMM-Pac situation is so much different, in that its not a situation of JMM's whole body falling to the ropes as was the case with his brother Rafael.
The JMM situation is that in which his arm comes in contact with the ropes, and its in the very least a situation that is'nt cut and dry obvious that the ropes are what kept him upright.

It was'nt obvious that it was the ropes that held him up, thus the ref would have been a straight up biased moron to have stepped in and called it a knockdown.

It goes to show just how insecure *******s are with Pac's decision win, that they continue to harp on issues like JMM's arm coming in contact with the ropes and want to call it a knockdown!
