How many of you guys have actually boxed? I'm not talking about a fight. I'm talking about actually bouts. Getting knocked out doesn't always mean your out cold. It can mean the doctors don't think your fit to fight anymore and its too much of a danger to your health, the ref may call it, or your too disoriented and dazed to really do anything. It doesn't take too much to take a mouthpeice out. When i was 15 my dad and I boxed all the time, He boxed for 10 years. He was helping with my training and so we would spar alot. I remember one specific instance when he nailed me with a right hook. I 'floated' to the floor, well it felt like i floated because everything happened in slow motion. I couldn't really see straight but i did pull my mouthpeice out. About a minute later I was pretty fine, but was told that was considered a knockout. It really didn't look rigged guys, just give them what respect they deserve for even being in the sport, its a whoel hell of a lot harder than most sports, and ive played many.
