No, a knockdown is supposed to be a fighter going to the canvas as the result of a punch. Replays clearly showed that no punch landed. Barrera went to throw a short hook, but clearly missed over the top of Morales head. Morales leaned down and went to clinch, but Barrera fell forward into him and the impact of Barrera's body knocked Morales to one knee. It was a push/slip, not a knockdown.

I believe this cheap knockdown was the only one of Morales' career until the 2nd Pacquiao fight, correct?
