I was curious as to how Dillian Whytes loss to Alexander Povetkin is listed as a 'TKO' on his Boxrec record, he was in fact knocked clean out, the video shows he was unconscious before he hit the canvas, shouldn't that loss be recorded as a 'KO" on his record?

ko is usually ruled when there is a full 10 count, which there wasnt. ref waived it off without one.

there is no rule that says a tko is less brutal than a ko

I believe we really shouldn't have a sport in today's climate where the ultimate aim is to render your opponent unconscious.
I am campaigning to define a TKO as stopped on their feet and KO stopped due to knockdown. Don't bother to spew your hatred at me, I have had an abundance over the last couple of years.

I think that is a brilliant idea and would clear up a lot of confusion.
