Re: KO Percentages Question
I'd say somewhere around 5 percent. It seems to me anymore the fight is immediatley stopped rather than a fighter being counted out. I can't really think of any in recent memory but then again that is not saying to much.
Re: KO Percentages Question
tnx The Fightfan for taking a stab at it.
C'mon u guys, fookin guess or sumthin. :shakehead:
Re: KO Percentages Question
You would have to elaborate more. I mean,how long back are we going here? 5, 10yrs? Dont know off-hand myself but im sure you could get your hands on the title fight results alone then have an educated guess on the other big fights from your memory or whatever. Im sure you could get a good ball-park figure. I think it would be more than 5% personally as im pretty sure more than 1 in 20 big fights end in a clean knockout although maybe not much more.
Re: KO Percentages Question
Well it does happen more often than 5% of the time I believe.
It must be at least 25% of the time in Ricky Hatton fights :)
Let's think, Hatton has been sparked twice, Manny sparked David Diaz too. Roy Jones was knocked unconscious twice, did Margarito beat the count against Mosely? Can't remember although I know Mayorga didn't.
Juan Diaz failed to get up against Marquez, I think Casamayor was out for the count against Marquez too? And I'm sure Katsidis didn't get up against Casa himself.
It happens more often than you'd realise I guess, but actually considering how many world titles their are now, virtually every fight is a title fight, so the figure may not be that high in comparison.
10% maybe actual KO's, rising to 40% when you account for TKO's, stoppages on cuts, and the towel being thrown in. I'd say another 5% for freak stoppages, disqualifications, headbutts etc, so prob 55% of fights go the distance, 45 end early, with 10% being clean ko's.
Of course I just made these stats up on the spot but if Jazmerkin, AdamGb or Missy disagree I fully intend to defend them as accurate and will pull up all manner of google resources to prove my invented stats are legit :p
Re: KO Percentages Question
I'd agree with Bilbo's numbers, not the 5%.

is this not what the question is though, those fights you listed will have all gone down as tkos would they not because there was no actual count
there was no count in margarito - mosley, the ref stepped in to stop before margarito even got knocked down the second time
the most brutal ko's ironically normally are not recorded as ko's because the ref will stop it without a count

Is that true?
I just checked Hatton and although Manny got the KO, Floyds win is listed as a TKO which kind of seems like bollocks to me.
Actually maybe he did get to his feet in that. I remember him being check hooked into the corner post, getting up then being knocked down again, at which point the ref stopped it.
I would DEFINITELY call that a ko, although it doesn't suprise me at all that they would be incompetent enough to rule it a tko. :-\
Re: KO Percentages Question
I think the referee stepped in to stop it as Hatton was falling down against the ropes again...
Re: KO Percentages Question
boxrec has it as a ko your right, but yet they also have marqeuz - diaz as a tko when the ref stopped both without a count
if were going by their true definitions boths fights were TKO's as there was no ten count
come to think of it i cant even remember the last time a title fight ended in a true KO

ya that seems kinda strange to me. you'd think if anythng deserves a ko it is the dude not making it thru the count because the ref. considered saving his life might take priority at that moment.

yeah that was a TKO. I'm not sure the reason for the gay music, it threw me off.

think doing it by the proper definitions of a 'ko' or 'TKO' is the only fair way to record these stoppages
for example hatton and david diaz werent gonna be getting up if there was a 30 second count in their fights against pac,
however take juan diaz against marquez, he may have been able to although all 3 fights were stopped without a count
is it fair for marquez to get the 'KO' ?

Of course it's fair! Watch the fight here

He was done, if they carry on he gets ko'd.
Basically a TKO is no less impressive than a KO anyway, a KO just means knocked out, i.e counted out, a TKO just means the referee stopped the fight because the fighter was clearly about to be KO'd so he intervened for the fighter's safety.
It's like in chess. Very rarely will see an actual checkmate in grandmaster practice, even at amatuer level because the losing player will resign before the mate is delivered.
Does this mean it's less of a win than a genuine checkmate? Of course not, the checkmate was inevitable so they stopped the game early to avoid having to see it played out over the board.
In the Diaz Marquez fight a ko is just as inevitable but it comes also with the health risk to Diaz if its played out so the ref saves him from further punishment.
So it reads TKO, but to all intents and purposes it's a KO, becuase it if carried on Diaz would eventually get hurt so bad he couldn't make the count.
So Marquez deserves the KO, but a TKO is the same thing really, a knockout is a knockout after all.

i agree, but the question was how many title fights actually end up in a true 'ko'
look up the definition a proper 'ko' is classified by the refree completing a ten count, if it is stopped prior to this, then its a TKO,
and to say marquez should get the KO because diaz was about to ko'd is just an assumption ... have you not seen corrales - castillo 1 ? why not just call the fight off when corrales goes down so easilly the second time....it seemed obvious that he was about to get knocked but we know how it actually turned out

Well firstly Coralles was not nearly as done as Diaz was. He still had the presence of mind to spit his gumshield out and wasn't flat on his back when the ref stepped in.
Secondly, if my memory serves me right, Castillo only lost that fight because the referee intervened and ruled it a TKO with Castillo still on his feet.
So Coralles didn't knock him out either as imagine how it could have turned out had the ref let them fight on.......just saying.
Diaz was DONE, no coming back for him in that fight.
Re: KO Percentages Question
was it corrales intelligence to spit his gum shield out or simply instinct ... hard to tell, look at how tyson scrambled round on the floor for his wasting most of the ten count against buster douglas... i doubt that just after being knocked down for the second time he was thinking about trying to buy the odd second by spitting the mouth piece out
im pretty sure you will agree then that corrales - castillo shouldnt go down as a 'ko' but a tko, there was no count as the referee intervened
what makes this different than the pac - diaz fight or the pac - hatton fight
in both cases it was game over, there was no coming back
i dont neccesarilly agree with this technicality, and it doesnt affect the fighter in anyway i was simply answering the question in the way i see it
it does work the other way too, look at Benn - Mclellan, ruled as a KO in the record books although he took a knee and allowed himself to be counted out he wasnt brutally put down in the way hatton or david diaz were

Yeah but it seems your implying, or regard a KO as better than a TKO, hence Marquez 'not deserving a ko'.
I'm just saying they are the same thing. There is no greater glory for winning by KO than there is by TKO, in fact if I named 10 recent fights that ended in a stoppage you'd probably be hard pressed to accurately pick which were KO's and which were TKO's, hell I expect even the fighters themselves would often not know.
It's all the same, sure there are bullshit stoppages occasionally and we can argue them, but generally, and in the case of JM Marquez against Diaz, Floyd against Hatton, Mosely against Margarito and Coralles against Castillo, they all knocked their opponent out.
Whether its in the record books as TKO or KO, it is completely the same thing.

ok i agree that deserve is probably the wrong word to use, but should it be listed in the same way.... and i agree a knockout is a knockout unless were talking calzaghe manfredo :-X, but the question regarded facts and figures

Exactly worded as such,
"what percentage of modern serious fights, serious being say title fights and other fights between established names, end in actual knockouts, not TKOs?"
Thanks!
It's impossible to determine.
Sample : As soon as David Diaz hit the deck Drackulich waved it off for a TKO. It should have been a KO victory.
Many other fights went like this.

I agree Bilbo Baggins.
Re: KO Percentages Question
They very rarely do the full 10 count now as if it's clear the guy isn't getting up they try to get the medical teams in there asap. I don't know how they determine if one is a KO or TKO. Look at Hatton's knockouts. The Pacquiao one was waved off by Kenny Bayless as it was clear Hatton wasn't getting up, but I also doubt he would have got up from the Mayweather one, but that becomes a TKO as Cortez stepped in Mayweather's way as Hatton hit the canvas.
Re: KO Percentages Question
Actual 10 counts now are rare. In the interest of safety the ref will stop counting if he thinks the fighter is gone, like say Taylor was against Abraham. I think he got to 6 and that was too long, Jermain wouldn't have got up if he counted 10 hours.

Call me old-fashioned but that looks pretty much of a KO as you can get.
