    Knock someone out. That's tough because that means you're exchanging which means you put yourself at risk which increases adversity while points you tend to avoid risk which lessens adversity.

    Trying to knock someone out is mentally, physically and sometimes emotionally exhausting:

    This is a vague question.. That's like asking is it easier to dunk or shoot a jumper...

    It takes more skill to win using the outside game,
    Hit and not get hit.
    Absolutely -- do not catch punches with your face.

    if not for the ko artists, boxing will become less popular. the ko's is what made boxing entertaining for it show cases the power and danger of the sport. those who mastered the defense are those who lack power and those who fear getting hurt.
