Talk:Knockout

message: How are Knockouts achieved?
Is it because of the violent and fast /rotating motion of the head? for example like when amir khan got knocked down by the clobian ko king brediss prescott

message: I removed the sentence about UFC rules because it states the "intelligent defense" rule, but that rule is not found in the page cited. Also, since UFC matches are governed by the Unified Mixed MMA rules already mentioned, bringing up UFC rules is a redundant point. hateless 19:02, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Disambiguation

message: Record knockout streaks like the ones held by Wilfredo Gómez and Lamar Clark are often mentioned in widely published media. I believe that a subsection discussing notable ones should be integrated to this article. - Caribbean~H.Q. 03:28, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Knockout streaks

message: The article focuses on head hit knockouts, but there are more versions.
- liver hit (extreme pain incapacitates the fighter after 2 sec)
- third knockdown in a round (maybe also second in some full contact sports), example K-1
- inability to defend yourself (technical KO)

thread_title:  other knockouts 

message: The caption of a recently added picture states Cotto is being knocked out, but in that fight he actually wasn't. Cotto was just knocked down a few times. The writing should be changed to "knocked down", am I right?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by TheBearPaw (talk • contribs) 20:31, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

message: I have heard the term rocked used in a fight to describe someone who has been hurt by punches, but a better synonym for punch drunk - a term seldom used inside the ring compared to other uses - would be 'shot'.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.181.150.54 (talk) 07:48, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Rocked" 

message: In the "Physical Characteristics" section, I'm seeing this line:
"Fighters who lose by knockout (either by ten count or technical) are automatically suspended 30 days, three months if it is the second knockout within three months, or one year if it is the third knockout within one year."
This is uncited, and I have a hard time believing it's entirely accurate. That could be a rule within a certain sport (I'm thinking Boxing), or a certain fighting organization, but unless it's a general rule for all combat sports, this needs to be clarified. This also definitely needs a citation, which I'm trying to find.

thread_title: No apostrophe in plural of T.K.O.

message: I noticed someone attempted to redact my contribution(s) of Melvin Manhoef and Gilbert Yvel to this list. Gilbert was 22-4 with almost every win coming by KO when he made his Pride debut. I'd say that makes him a former contender and worthy of inclusion. Melvin Manhoef is a notable inclusion as a former Cage Rage champion and Dream Middleweight Grand Prix semifinalist, making him a past contender for the inaugural Dream MW belt. Or is it supposed to be only current champions, interim champs and contenders for exactly the promotions listed? And why list smaller, less notable promotions like Deep and KOTC while excluding larger scale promotions like Dream and WEC? If someone would like to clarify this for me, I would appreciate it.

thread_title:  Top 10 Fighters by KO Percentage in MMA  

message: From the technical knockout section:
A technical knockout (TKO or T.K.O.) is declared when the referee or official ring physician decide that a fighter cannot safely continue the match. In boxing, this can happen if the fighter fails the 10 count 
Isn't that a normal knockout? Shouldn't this read more like "even if the fighter answers the 10-count"? I.e., he can be knocked down, get up in time, but then evaluated and the physician/referee ends the fight in a TKO (as in a standing eight count). 72.200.151.13 (talk) 17:39, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  TKO and 10-count 

message: There are a lot of reasons that simple lists of records are discouraged anywhere except in Guinness, but perhaps the best one is this: They're primarily interesting to someone who already knows a lot about the subject and wants to know more, not to a beginner.
If someone wants information on "What is a knockout?", they're likely to be interested in the medical explanation - or what it means in boxing - etc. They're not interested in "Who won with 87 knockouts as of 1973, 88 if you count the time his opponent passed out due to low blood sugar?"
I strongly recommend dropping the bottom half in favor of readability, but I personally have no stomach for possibly getting in a prolonged fight with someone who spent three days compiling it and refuses to let go of even one letter. If someone cares enough about the article to do so, I think it would be a worthwhile endeavour. 2001:558:600A:4B:78C0:A7BD:D471:9409 (talk) 20:30, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

message: Why is there no page for this athlete.  He was deported from Australia for the colour of his skin despite being married to an Australian women with 2 children he was forced to leave behind.  A brief summary of his life should be listed, he qualifies here for KO count but at least seems relevant elsewhere for a number of reasons.
