Why did Valuev get a TKO over McCline?

WBA rules state as follows:

12.1 If due to any unforeseen or accidental cause should it be necessary to
suspend a world championship bout before the end of the scheduled rounds,
a TECHNICAL DECISION shall be given in favor or the boxer who at the
moment is in advantage in the score cards of the judges, provided that at the
moment of the suspension, at least four (4) complete rounds have passed.
Should the contest be suspended before the four (4) complete rounds, the
decision shall be a TECHNICAL DRAW.

Why was it called a TKO?Am I missing something? ???

Never mind I should have contined reading.

12.2 The self given wounds or those suffered by the boxers during the bout, as for
example, fractures, sprain, twist of a join, swoon, etc. do not constitute
accident for the purpose of this regulation, and should any of these upsetting
prevent a boxer from continuing the fight, he shall lose the contest by TKO
(TECHNICAL KNOCKOUT)


I still don't like that rule.Should be a NC in my book.

because of don king

Without that rule, if a boxer was getting his but kicked, he might be inclined to fake a leg injury.
