why was it called a tko instead of a ko ?

That was a clear KO.

the guy was out for three minutes.

 

Tko

Well, that's what Michael Buffer said.
But, it was a KO, right?

 

that was a TKO totaly knocked the hell out haha

 

The ref didn't issue a count.

 

Because there isnt a single ref left in Boxing who actually counts to ten.

They all love to wave there arms in the air to call the fight off resulting in TKO's instead of KO's.

 

What's the difference?
It still goes down as a K.O. on Manny's record.

Bayless knew the **** was over before the count, It was all for nothing.
so he technically called Hatton Knocked out.

 

well that's rediculous, if the guy doesn't beat the 10 count, including if there is no count, then it should be a KO.

 

It obviously makes no difference. KO or TKO, it counts as a knockout on the fighter's record.

 

definitely a straight KO

 

Does it matter?

 

He knew that getting the doctors was more important than counting to ten

 

TKO/ TOTAL KNOCK OUT. lol. Was it really called a technical knockout? lol. atsch

 

True. This is one of the cases it was warranted though, as I think they needed to get medical help in there ASAP. Although it would've been slightly funny to see Kenny go through the semantics of the 10 count, there would've been serious repercussions if Hatton were seriously injured and he'd waited to call for help.

That the medics proceeded in rolling Ricky over immediately didn't look like the smartest decision, but then again, I'm no Dr.

 

boxrec has it as a KO
