with all due respect a KO means Knocked Out = lights out/asleep/unconscious but i understand what you are coming from too.
:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl Yeah, he was so totally unhurt by Andre's punches he tried to tie the ref's shoe lace for him

No,that displays a modicum f common sense. What you are saying hitting the matt after being cracked on the chin and showing no sign of movement isnt a ko
Yes, but that's a very literal interpretation of the term. As fans of this sport, we know that a 'KO' does not only mean when someone is literally knocked unconscious. It's also applied, by the rules of the sport, to fights such as Arlovski-Nelson where one fighter is prostrate and rendered unable to defend himself or continue due to a strike.
Exactly, plenty of guys have been ko'd without being 'asleep' as he put it Here's one example [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3leRDXrbrs[/ame] Paul's eyes are wide open, does that mean he is concious?
I'd take it a step further my friend. To me, even this is rightfully classified as a KO: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQLbi2duG5E[/ame] If a fighter cannot beat the count, he has been knocked out. A TKO technical knockout is a different thing, where the count is not even involved, ie a referee stoppage like this: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sk1RpzUA0nk[/ame]
Vic was all heart there, but in no way was he in control of his senses, it was all instinct And you got to factor that a tko in mma is a more regular as being unable to defend/respond on the feet in a similar fashion to Vargas is a different kettle of fish when you can punch on the grounded opponent, and the ref steps in before he can be ko'd clean
he paul was unconscious but and roy was moving after he got down not like usain bolt but he wasnt totally out of it. im not saying that it was an unjustified stoppage either.
