has anyone been knockout before ? Be Honest

I went down numerous times when I first started, but it wasn't from being knocked down so much, as just still learning and not having good balance. So you get into a tangle sparring and basically fall or trip over.

But that was just typical beginner stuff. The other post were the only times i was properly all over the shop.

I have been knocked out twice in my life.

Once in a streetfight as a young man. I was very drunk so no pain until I sobered up and realized my jaw was broken in two places.

The other time was in the ring, took a hook to the jaw and lights out.

Not that bad really, just like a switch being flipped off and on again.

I would actually prefer to be knocked out clean that take cumulative big shots to the head.

I am surprised by how few of the posters here have never actually been KO'd to be honest...

Elbow to the lower back of the head. I was sparring with this other guy, but that was back in Argentina and the concept of dirty fighting isnt as clear as youd think . Scumbag shot though, I could have gotten hurt bad. I didnt go down but I should have. Sometimes its healthier than staying on your feet. The next day I had what felt like a quart of blood under the skin where I was hit. Needed a scan just to see if it was all ok but it all turned out well.
Oh, actual KO, about 12 years old or so, fooling around on the beach, I jumped from a deck towards the sand, and missed a chair in that same spot. The back of the chair hitting me right in the stomach. I just went night night and woke up looking at the sky, all these heads staring down at me. Felt like being in a coffin.

Not yet, but it will happen eventually, getting knocked out has to be one of those life experiences everyone should try at least once. Whenever I've gotten punched on my head it just rattles for a split second, and i keep on plowing, but I bet a good one on the chin would do it. Sure does it for everyone else.

Personally I dread getting suckered punch to the mid section more than getting put to sleep I've actually experienced that, and I must say I wish I would have been asleep through that one.

I blacked out once for about 5 seconds due to dehydration combined with extremely hot weather but I've never been knocked out in a fight, although I have been knocked down a few times.
