KO or TKO
Do you have to be knocked out to have the fight end in KO? I watched the Paige Vanzant Bec Hyatt fight and they stopped it declaring Paige the winner by knock out. It didn't appear Bec was out so I thought it should have been by TKO.

Re: KO or TKO
TKO's are always announced as KO's in fights.

Re: KO or TKO
It's a tko if the fighter is taking too much damage and not responding or defending effectively. I.e. He just covers his face and gets pounded, or is in a bad position and unable to escape while taking damage. A KO is considered when the fighter is unable to defend herself or continue. It doesn't necessarily mean unconscious, but if they get rattled and just stop fighting intelligently, that's considered a KO. So Bec got tagged with that kick, went down , didn't protect her face, Paige jumped on her and started punching her head. Bec didn't try to cover up, so she was out of it, but not asleep. That is considered a KO. I think such things should be called tko's, but it's just the way they do it and it makes sense I guess.

Re: KO or TKO
Ronda Rousey's TKO win over Sara McMann would fall under the bad call catagory
