    Got Knocked Out

    well just had the weirdest experience of my life, i grew up being in a number of street fights but i had never been dazed, lost a lot but never hurt, then all of a sudden i step in the ring for a sparring exhibition match against this guy wit a couple fights not a lot, i personally don't have any but i didnt think nothing of it, id say for about the 1st minute and a half i thought i was winning wit my hand speed and movement then next thing i know I'm outside the ring watching 2 other guys spar, me in the ring felt like a dream and i didn't remember much, all of a sudden some guys at my gym start asking me "are you ok?" I'm just like "why wouldn't i be" then it just hit me, i can't remember getting hit but i remember not being able to get up, i remember trying to get out the ring and i put my foot out the 2nd and 3rd rope then my head out the 1st and 2nd rope , so i gave my gym homies a good laugh, haha well i don't thing i got a good chin as i used to, do any of you guys remember getting knocked out, i was never a badass or nothin so I'm fine admitting it. share some stories.

        I only hear about how it is to get knocked out. Everyone kinda says they don't exactly remember. Jon Fitch described it as time being stolen from you. You just wake up minutes ahead.

        I kinda don't want to find out either. I don't know if I have a good chin or not but I don't want to find out either. Duck and move. lol

          You poor guy!

          Sounds like you must have been really drilled.

          I must admit, I've never been knocked out. But when I was in my late teens and still at school, I sparred a professional for the first time and took some good head punches.

          The next day at school I couldn't remember my sports teachers name! Complete whitewash.............he had taught me physical education for 6 years and all i had was a blank. Who knows what other memories those punches might have robbed me of?!!

          The brain is a complex organ, its not really designed for taking a beating.

            Be careful man don't do any sparring for at the least a month, but the more time the better. It does happen though. I've gotten my vision messed up for a little and was a scary experience. But I took the time off from sparring to be safe because you got to in boxing, ****s no joke.

              Absolutely!

              This was in the mid 90s though, I like to think I've recovered now. Ha Ha

                I've been knocked out once too, during sparring, that's the first time i talk about it, but there's no shame.

                I was sparring with an amazing french boxer which was about to go to the olympics, it was a good sparring session (that's what my trainer told me a few days later) i was working on my jab threw a couple of them, then suddenly, out of nowhere boom black hole.

                I awoke 2 mins later, still lying on the canvas, with everyone around me, asking me 'How do you feel?' 'what's your name?' 'Do you know what just happened?' The only thing i could said was my name is Clement.

                I remember that i had headaches for about a week.

                A week later i've been to an osteopath, he told me that the whole punching power was on my jaw and that everything was fine as far as my brain concerned.

                I wasn't allow to spar for 2 months after that.

                  Yea, two minutes out cold is certainly the best reason to give up sparring for two months.

                    i got TKO'd in my first fight, i still remember excatly what happened i the ring but not much afterwards.

                    i threw a lazy jab and all of a sudden it was like a bright white flash in front of my eyes and afterwards everything went foggy. i wobbled backwards into the ropes, my head snapped back from a combination but i didnt feel any of it.

                    next thing i know the ref waved the fight off, i was still on my feet and i was pissed! i thought i just got stunned a bit but didnt consider myself hurt at all. i try to walk to the ref and my legs aint there, im like "okey i guess i am hurt" but i was still mad and embarassed. walk to my corner and my trainer tell me to go over and thank the oposite corner for he fight. i wobble across the ring and touch gloves with them, thats the last clear memory i have.

                    i have a very blurry memory of my trainer telling me "its okey" back in my own corner and another one of standing in the middle of the ring and seeing my oponent get his hand raised. i have no memory whatsoever of leaving the ring, walking downstairs to the locker rooms etc. next thing i remember is standing in the shower feeling completely like normal and the whole experience up to that point being like a distant dream.

                    at first i didnt remember the fight and figured i got knocked clean out, it wasnt til a few hours later that bits and pieces of the day started coming back including the fight. like mentioned still no recollection of leaving the ring though.
