Normally, during a boxing match, if you knock down your opponent, the referee will give him a count of 10 to get back on his feet to notify if he’s fit enough to carry on with the match. Note that the timing of the round will not be stopped. If you knock out your opponent, the fight ends immediately and you’ll emerge as the winner. A boxing match is only decided by the judges after the 12th round without a knockout or disqualification.
