Could round 12 of Vasquz - Marquez III have been scored a 10-7 round?

[p4pking]

The reason the ref called the knock down is valid in my opinion, the only reason Rafa didn't go down was because he grabbed on to the ropes, which is considered a knock down. It's not like the ropes just happened to hold him up (as I believe happened in Enzo's case, I could be wrong here though), he actually grabbed on to them to keep from going down. It was a fair call.
Regardless, score-wise wouldn't a standing 8 be considered the same thing as a KD? I don't even know if there is such a thing as a standing 8 count in professional boxing...

Yea there is a standing 8 in the pro's, but it seems most commissions have strayed from it recently.. It wouldn't be scored any differently that a KD though, I was really just going off topic ranting. I haven't rewatched the 12th round since I saw it, if Rafa did indeed grab onto the ropes then a KD was the right call.. Either way, a 10-7 round would have been perfectly ok. And with Haye-Enzo he didn't didn't grab the ropes or anything, Haye knocked Enzo back hard he just hit the ropes and sort of got propped up into a crouch where he continued to get beat on. I think that either case should be called a KD, if a guy is knocked silly from a punch and going right onto his ass but the ropes just happen to keep him upright, he should get a count imo. I was just pointing out that technically Marquez didn't touch the ground as are the rules.

Yeah, I agree completely that if the ropes are all that are holding a rocked fighter up it should be a KD, I think most of the time the refs call it that way.
I just re-watched round 12 of Vasquez - Marquez again and Rafa grabbed the top rope as he staggered into the corner, so the correct call was made.

Even though i scored it 10-8 when i was doing RBR to be fair to Marquez. I looked back at that round again and i say it was for certain 10-7 round. Vasquez dominated Marquez in that round in fact i can't even really remember Marquez landing a good shot in that round. Vasquez come out for the 12th like an animal he fought the entire 3 minutes of the round and totally battered Marquez from pillar to post, if people don't think that was a 10-7 round then i ask those people what else could Vasquez have done ?? he totally battered Marquez, and dominated the whole 3 minutes of the round. And lucky for Marquez the ref did give him a count otherwise he would of been stopped IMO.

Another round i scored 10-7 was the 2nd round in the Bowe vs Golota 2 fight, well i would have if Golota wouldn't have got a point deducted but you see my point.
