    do you think gettin knocked out physically ruins a fighter?

    not so bad that he can never win a fight or nothin but make him worse than he was before?
    i would'nt be suprised there is some damage done considering getting knockout out is like a blown fuse(it's your brain gettin smashed off your skull/your masseter gettin stretched to the point it bein like a plug being pulled out suddenly which in a system is known for ruining the quality and causin hardware problems)

    what's your take on it

    yes, i did just compare machines to the human body

    Yeah for sure, but I think the mental effect is probably bigger

      getting ko'd causes you to get a concussion and causes mentally issues cause that ko is always on your mind..so yea fighters are rarely the same after getting ko'd

        Not all fighters though...

        Depends on the Knockout as well and how bad a beating etc...

        Mentally more then anything i'd say.....

          I'm sure I did see somewhere that once you get knocked out you are 7 times more likely to get knocked out again

            It really depends on each individual fighter.

                  It depends. Obviously getting KO'd like Hatton against Pacquiao is different than taking a knee. But yeah I'd say it definitely affects the fighter mentally from that point on.
