    I am surprised that so many do not know the difference. A knockout is when a fighter can't get up at the count at 10,or simply out cold, like Lewis was knocked out by Rahman, or Rahman was knocked out by Lewis in the rematch. A TKO is when a fight is stopped because a ref decides to stop a fight for a fighter taking too many punches, hurt, eyes do not look right, etc., or, for no reason as in the case of the Gamboa/Gonzales fight,to protect Gamboa's KO record? yes, there is a difference.

    Yes, there is a difference, but both are embarrassing!

    What if the guy is on the mat and the ref waves it off, KO or TKO

    Depends on the situation really. If the guy is clearly knocked cold and the ref waves the count it usually goes down as a KO. Now if the guy has already hit the deck a few times and goes down again and the ref stops the fight imediately before he has a chance to get to his feet then it usually goes down as a TKO.

    Kind of hard to explain the difference really. I guess much of it is up to the referee's disgretion.

    there are plenty of times when TKO occurs and the fighter is KTFO.

    Pavlik-Tyalor 1 is a perfect example

    TKO - the ref, doctor, or the corner says the fighter has had enough
    KO - the fighter personally lets everyone know they have had enough
    :p
