    Default KO Percentages Question

    This question was asked of me on a non-boxing forum, and I completely have no idea. So maybe some of you guys can help or give some insight. I dont even know if these stats are available, but if so cool, if not, give me your opinions and Ill pass them along.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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

    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

    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.
