How come brutal killing of Whyte was ruled TKO?

[Enlightened-One]

Isn't it supposed to be KO or something? What's that "Technical count out" horseshit?

The ref didn't count to ten.

Referee must count to 10 to KO result, when its immediate waved its TKO, am i wrong ?

No, you're 100% correct. Puzzling any fan on this message board doesn't know that.

We agree! We've done that a few times recently.

The rules should be fixed. There should be KO, if a referee waves instead of a (full) count, when a fighter simply falls unconscious.

Agree

Agree

I’ve always said that too. Make sense.

The ref didn't even count to one, which was the correct decision as Whyte was fucked and a ten second delay to getting medical treatment would have been clearly neglegent.

Whether it is classed a KO or TKO in the records is irrelevant and I'm not sure why people are getting so upset about it.

We all saw the punch and won't be forgetting it in a hurry.
Whyte got knocked out, even he admits that.
