What's happened to one punch knockout heavyweight fights

Povetkin Did just knockout whyte.

 

Yeah, Povetkin knocking out Whyte is a prime example. As one punch knock out as they come and yet ruled a TKO.

I don’t think it’s that different.

Whyte’s knockout of Browne was devastating, he looked dead watching in the arena...

 

Maybe some people missed the Whyte vs Povetkin fight?

 

The waters of KO and TKO can be a little murky. But Povetkin himself has a string of one punch KO’s

Whyte, Price, Takam, Perez. I think Charr was one punch too. Although Whyte for example is listed as TKO, despite it essentially being a one punch KO.

Wilder also has Beazeale, Stiverne and Szpilka, as well as a host of other unimpressive names.

AJ and Fury have little in the way of one punch endings.

Whyte has Chisora and Browne. Sod all else.

Ruiz and Parker aren’t really punchers at all.

So there is still plenty around. Maybe it just feels like there’s less.

 

Why is the Whyte fight a TKO? Because the Ref waved it off when he was out cold?

That's as KO'd as someone can be surely?

 

As I understand, it's only a genuine KO if the fighter doesn't beat the 10 count. If it is waved off before that then it's a TKO
