It was a premature stoppage and not a knockout. In fact, Duhaupas didn't even go down once after taking 11 rounds of career high number of flush punches from Wilder. Yet, blown up cruiser weight Povetkin knocked Duhaupas out unconscious. Whilst Povetkin never knocked out anybody more impressively than any opponent Wladimir Klitschko knocked out. Nor did Povetkin ever KO any opponent Wlad failed to KO.
Wladimir Klitschko rarely commits to full powered punches and he doesn't even need to. Particularly not like how Wilder did against Duhaupas.
If Wlad had referees in his side gifting him premature stoppages like they did to Wilder against Duhaupas, Wlad would have an even higher KO percentage.
