How come a beautiful KO is counted as a TKO?

[ИATAS]

THis is exactly what i'm talking about. These days in modern boxing, they don't count fighters out anymore. Don't ask me why. I don't want to get upset, but it's ridiculous these days, that they don't count fighters out to 10. They're all considered KO's though even though it's a TKO. Nowadays, it's up to the judges to decide if it were a KO or a TKO. I think "Ninong" scored a TKO because of the previous knockdowns. Bayless saw enough. If Hatton only went down once, i think Bayless might have counted.

you're right to an extent, but this was a clear case there not needing to be a count. It was very clear hatton didn't know where he was, his eyes were gone.

It should be ruled a KO though

That KO in my opinion is a likely candidate for knockout of the year.

I agree. It was like he'd been hit by Tyson. Instant sleep as soon as it connected.

I was excited then I quickly quieted down... I didn't like it.

It was a TKO only because Bayless didn't count to 10.

Yeah, it was a pretty scary moment not unlike Jones-Glen Johnson.

Knock outs are neat things, but when the guy is just laying there, it does become scary.

Like the above mentioned and Codrington-Allen Green and Ruiz-Tua were just plain brutal.

I think there a wrong impression by some people that a TKO is a weaker stoppage than a KO. That's not always the case such as what happened with Hatton. I think it was even a more emphatic stoppage because the ref didn't see the need for a count.

You bunch of Knuckleheads, go to BoxRec, its officially a KO, not a TKO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That always pisses me off... refs never ever count to 10 anymore
