    I don't know but for me it's one of the main resons I tune in to big fights. I'm not sick person or anything like that but I like watching a good KO. What I don't like watching is a Levander Johnson type fight where a guy takes a beating for 11 rounds without even taking a knee. I think I can speak for everyone and say no one wants to see that it makes my stomach sick to think about that.

    Fav ko's include

    Mercer vs Morrison
    Tua vs Ruiz
    Gatti vs Gamache

    Everyone likes to see KOs, that's what all boxing fan hope to see during fights. Nothing sick about it.

    Nothing wrong with it. Also a great KO is Hopkins vs Joppy.

    I think your thinking of Trinadad vs Joppy. Hopkins put a beating on Joppy but could'nt finnish him

    This is the second time I said Joppy. I ment Joe Lippsy.


    UGH OLD AGE!

    I love watching a good KO. And, yes, I do enjoy watching a good beating now and then. Schmeling-Louis II, Dempsey Willard and the like. It's awe inspiring, and horrifying, but also fascinating.

    I love to see a good KO provided the victim does not get hurt in the process. I do have doubts about my own humanity by enjoying somones brain being short ciruited, but hey, maybe if Jeffery Damer was a boxing fan he would not have eaten people.

    yes it is awsome to watch a good ko... it is also magnificent to watch a good hard fight... not a one sided beating...that is slightly sick... but a good crazy fights like gatti vs ward or castillo vs corralles

    Yeah, if you look at it closely, it's pretty freakin' horrifying. Other athletes get wins by hitting a homerun, running a ball into the endzone. Boxing is something that goes a lot deeper (not to get too philosophical here.lol). It's more primitive. It's the most electric moment in sports.

    Nothing too brutal - I mean something like Hatton/Castillo or Jackson/Graham for instance is good, but the KO's suffered by GMan and Michael Watson make me cringe.

    I like funny KO's as well, such as Tszyu on Judah - the end of year show on Sky Sports is always a good watch.
