	A '''technical knockout''' or '''TKO''' occurs when a boxer is deemed unfit to continue and the referee ends the bout. This may be to protect a boxer who is being unduly punished by his opponent or as a result of injury such as a bad cut, broken nose or jaw.		A '''technical knockout''' or '''TKO''' differs from a true ten-second [[knockout]]; it usually occurs when a boxer is deemed unfit to continue and the referee ends the bout. This may be to protect a boxer who is being unduly punished by his opponent; or as a result of injury such as a bad cut, broken nose or jaw. Sometimes the boxer's [[corner]], [[second]], [[trainer]], or [[manager]] may ask the referee to stop it, [[throw in the towel]], or the boxer himself may [[retire]] on his own volition.

	The referee is the only official who can declare a TKO but he might consult the [[ring doctor]] for his opinion~~. Sometimes the boxer's [[corner]], [[second]], [[trainer]] or [[manager]] may ask the referee to stop it, [[throw in the towel]] or the boxer himself may [[quit]] on his own volition~~.		The referee is the only official who can declare a TKO, but he might consult the [[ring doctor]] for his opinion.
