Knockout (KO)

Knockout (KO)

Fight Outcome

Definition

A fight-ending outcome where a boxer is unable to get up from the canvas within the referee’s 10-count after being knocked down. A clean KO results in an immediate victory for the fighter who delivered the knockdown. In betting, “win by KO” typically includes technical knockouts as well, unless specified.

Formula

*N/A*

Example

In round 5, Fighter A lands a huge punch that floors Fighter B for over 10 seconds – a **knockout** victory for Fighter A. Bettors who took Fighter A by KO/TKO win their prop bets. Officially, the result is recorded as “KO5” (win by KO in Round 5).
