Whats the difference bettween a KO and a TKO?

A KO is a situation when a boxer goes down the canvass and is counted out by the referee. A TKO is a situation where the boxer could still be standing but is so battered by the opposing boxer that the referee steps in and stops the fight and declare a winner to a bout. Of course, the battered one loses and the other is declared the winner. \n\nWhile there are situations that could be difficult to distinguish a KO from a TKO, as for example, after the round another boxer just refuses to come out and so a stoppage is declared and a winner is named normally by saying that the fight is completed by a TKO (since he did not TECHNICALLY continue and does is TECHNICALLY KNOCKED OUT), others would contend that he was KNOWNED OUT by refusing to continue. \n\nWhatever it is, a KO and a TKO result in the completion of a bout. And so a KO is a KNOCKED OUT situation, while a TKO is a situation where the boxer is declared TECHNICALLY out of the game as a result of a no-contest, injury or referee's decision.

Use your jab and keep your distance, you will have the advantage in terms of speed since you have been sparring with smaller lighter opponents. It is very important and I cannot stress it enough to use the jab to set up your power punches. Also, it's a wise decision to go to the body early and often! This will break the other fighter down and sap his power from him. If you need and advice please feel free to contact me I have over 20 years exp at various levels in the sport.

"1.) A punch to the back of the head that can cause injury or death. Common term in the sport of boxing (is an illegal move).\n\n2.) a punch or strike to the back of the neck. as in the way to put a rabbit out of its misery, with a strike to the back of the neck."

Boxing is an excellent workout because it works all muscles in the body.  If you aren't interested in sparring, search for an aerobic boxing class or a boxing gym that does not expect people to spar if they don't want to.  Steer clear of any class or gym that appears to be too quick to throw people in the ring before they are ready.  If you want to spar, don't let anyone tell you that women can't.  Women can spar with the proper equipment: headgear, mouth guard, chest protector, and groin protector.  You can practice it for years.  Many people, including myself, took up boxing late in life, well after the age of 35.

I've used both before. Usually, though, "beat up" is the verb form ("I beat up someone.") and "beat down" is a noun ("I put the beat down on someone.") Not sure why, but that's the way I hear/use it most often.

When a fighter gets knocked down he has a 10 count to get back to his feet and show the referee he's okay to continue. Even if he's back on his feet and ready right away, the referee has to keep counting until 8 before he can let the fight continue. That's the mandatory 8 count.\n\nHowever, sometime's a fighter is badly hurt but isn't knocked down and the referee doesn't want to wait to see if he does get knocked down. Instead, he breaks the fighters and it is counted on the scorecards as a knockdown. The referee gives the fighter (who is still standing) a standing 8 count to show that he is okay and can continue. If he's out on his feet, the referee can stop the fight.\n\nThe standing 8 count is no longer in practice, though. If you're watching boxing on tv, it's usually specified at the beginning of the fight that there is no standing 8 count.

Tradition.\n\nBoxing is a respected sport all around the world.  I think it is a great way to see young fighters before they turn pro.

It's fist fighting with gloves on.  Bouts are divided into rounds.  The number of rounds depends on the type of fight (pro or amateur). No hitting below the belt, no hitting when someone is down, no kicking, no head butting.  Can be won by scoring of the judges (they decide who wins each round, the one who wins the most rounds wins) or by knockout (which means that a person is hit so hard that they don't return to the fight within the count of the referee).  In some ways it is one of the purest sports but in other ways it much more regulated than other sports (state commissions, licenses required to participate, doctors can stop a fight, etc).

A pugilists heart is not contingent what style he or she is accomplished at.  In Professional fighting, your "heart" is your ability to rise up against adversity, no matter how grave the situation is.  Filtering out distractions like (but not limited to) fighting on your opponents home turf or in front of a crowd that is predominantly rooting for your opponent, fighting with an annoying injury ie broken nose, rib, hand, twisted ankle, bloody gash etc, ... or being aware that you are way behind on the scorecards, recent domestic issues or mental distractions, you get the idea.  Heart is an individual asset and I believe not relevent to ones style.  Boxers have Heart.  Brawlers have Heart.

If the K1 fighter isn't able to knock the UFC guy out in the first 10 sec, they'd probably get taken down and submitted right away. This is exactly what happened in the early UFC fights when kickboxers went up against jiujitsu guys.

Based on some of the pay per view figures from the United States, the UFC has all ready has passed boxing many times but not for all fights. Eventually MMA will be the biggest combat sport on earth because it is actually safer then boxing, it is run better than boxing and because it is more exciting than boxing. For example, there has never been a death in the UFC since it started in 1993 and there are almost no cases of the UFC or other MMA fighters being in trouble with the law which has happened many times in professional boxing. Boxing is a tough sport that takes dedication and skill to master but it's nature is just to punch an opponent in the head, which, even if you are a great boxer, takes it's toll on anyone after a few years. With MMA, you are learning not only how to box, but you are allowed to and trained to avoid being punched in the face which you cannot do so well in a boxing match. The UFC Fighters are also great role models - alot of them are just good family men who train very hard six or seven days a week and are also involved very actively in their communities.

It goes back to the days when  circle would be drawn on the ground and the fighters had to stand in the circle.\n\nWhen the first rules for boxing were written in 1743, they kept the term ring because it was the small circle in the center of a fight area where boxers meet.\n\n1838 the first square ring was introduced.\n\nI like the concept that it is a small circle in the middle of a fight area where boxers meet, so even though it is square it still has a ring.

The UFC stands for Ultimat Fighting Championships.\n\nThis promotion puts two combatants into a ring surrounded by a cage .  the two fighters are trained experts in thier chosen field of martial arts..  Any and All martial arts are invited to participate in these matches.. So you can have a Kung Fu grand Master fighting a heavyweight boxer.  Or a master brazilian jujitsu master go up against Sumo Wrestler. Or a 16 th level grand master in tae kwon do like Chuck Noris go up against Mr Miyagi from the karate kid! lol Just kidding.. but I hope you get the idea.\n\nits popular because you can have any martial arts master go into the ring and show his stuff off and prove his martial art is the best in the world.  also.. you see somebody get their @$$ whupped!

I am school owner and the State champ in West virginia the best way to get a KO with out punching is to kick with the shin to the side of the head. and depending on the style of TKD you do if ur allowed to, try practicing a side kick reverse/spin side kick. thats when you trow a non scoring side kick to the sie or stomach then w/o putting ur foot down u jump up and throw a reverse or spin , what ever you wantto call it, with the other foot in mid air to the head. It will do just fine and it will look awsome for the ladies
