    To be honest with you I cant even explain this at all, I mean its hard to describe the feeling all I remember was feeling the shot connect then waking up trying to breathe it was hard to get air and clear up the cob webs I cant really say I know what it "Felt" like but I can tell you this I didnt have one ounce of fun during

    I got knocked out once when I smashed my head on the hard-courts at school playing football. I got up and didn't know what had happened at all, it was really weird because I felt like I'd just hit the floor, and like as if I'd closed my eyes to brace for the impact, and then opened them again, whereas in fact I'd hit the floor and closed my eyes and was out for a couple of minutes, but I'd woke up and didn't actually know that I woke up if you know what I mean, and didn't have a clue what happened. My head was also bleeding a bit from the back but I couldn't feel any sort of pain, wasn't even like numbness or anything I could feel just nothing really. Weird.

    pretty accurate picture except in my case i didn't even feel the pain, just numb lightheadedness. oh, and realizing i was flat on my back with huge space time disconnect.

    I dont know the feling of being KO'ed - but in a street fight I was once punched insanely hard right on the chin from a left hand and it really got me wobbling. I did beat the dude afterwards, though. :blood

    The wobbling felt like my legs disappeared but I was extremely focused on not getting beat up. It was like a 4 second wobbling.

    In the boxing ring I have only one time felt the same. I got hit in sparring with an uppercut and I lost memory for about 4-5 seconds.

    Guess it feels bad to be KTFO. But my memory from being punched hard in the head is not pain, at all. Only the loss of memory.

    It's really lights out which means that you see nothing or stars, sometimes even with a kind of ear sound...it happened to me two times in my life. It doesn't hurt in the first instance, but you've a total blackout. Both times I got hit by ball (right in the face) and not by a hard punch :)

    To be knocked out cooled I dont know, but to be leveled by a pulverizing left hook feels like the bottom fell out. I saw a flash and then the lights, and I had little to no feeling of my body falling down to the mat. It was a hell of a shock and not something you want to experience again.

    I've actually been CLOCKED to the point I blacked out and remeber little to nothing about the actual punch. I was sucker punched in High school and only remember a ringing in my ear and unable to focus for a few seconds. It took me time to realise I had been decked. I've also been buzzed in the ring...but wasn't really anything like a bare fist. My natrual instint had me hold on to the guy and that's the first thing I really remembered after the ringing died down, my eyes began to focus and I began tasting something metalic which was my own blood gushing in my mouth. You are weak, on shaky legs and discombobulated. Once I got my bearings I held my own but the damage I took definitley zapped my speed and legs. That's why it's so impressive for guys who are decked, wobbled and buzzed to the point they fall to come back from that b/c you loose so much engergy by taking a punch like that.

    I just started a thread explaining an experience I had on wednesday night. I didn't get "knocked out" but I definitely lost consciessness for a split second. The shot landed on my ear. Everything went black (this is when I was dropping), then a flash of a light and I heard a loud noise...almost like a train was coming, then I snapped out of it and stood up. I was up in a second or two, but was on weary legs so I took about 20 seconds before going back to sparring :good

    Regarding a punch (or kick) I'll ask a friend of mine. I knocked him out with a Mae Keage (a Karate kick to the head) some years ago :D
