A PKO (psychological knockout) is when a boxer is pressured mentally or emotionally, by his/her scheduled opponent, to the point to where he/she is unable to continue on with a scheduled or planned fight. It is not uncommon for a boxer to work up his/her opponent emotionally before their scheduled fight with insults and disrespectful comments or gestures. Muhammad Ali was a master at using such tactics, because they work. Emotional distress diminishes a person's confidence and performance. By the way, boxing is 80% psychological and 20% physical.
Due to the PKO, Manny Pacquiao pulled out of the fight and filed a defamation lawsuit against Floyd Mayweather for insulting and disrespecting him and his country over the use of performance enhance drugs.
