Why does the crowd love it when there's a knockout in combat sports? Everyone is cheering and no one feels bad for the loser. Just thinking about what that must be like for that person. Imagine being nearly naked in front of a crowd which then cheers as you are knocked out. Imagine your friends enjoying watching you get destroyed. Imagine those friends leaving the venue without you, happy and not caring about you as you're left lying there KO'd. Imagine waking up hours later to find yourself in an empty venue, unable to leave as the building has been locked for the night with you still inside. How do those of you on this forum take the fear and humiliation of getting knocked out? Do you have a hard time dealing with it?

Some of my female friends want to see me box and have set up a match for me against a much larger opponent who has won every match by devastating knockout. My friends say they want to see a knockout. So it looks like I'm soon to experience getting knocked out in front of an audience.

Because they are definitive.  You can't claim you won, or it was a draw, or the other person cheated, if you are knocked unconscious.  If you do, no one will believe you.  Therefore, it is clearly determinative - no doubt.  That is comforting - to know the result for sure.  It also can be seen as extreme domination by the winner, leading to extreme humiliation for the loser.

In my experience it is much worse if the combatants are women.  It's really rare for two amateur women to be able to knock out their opponent with a single punch as they just don't have the power in their punches to do that.  Such contests usually start when they've fought before and therefore have a grudge to settle and their husbands/boyfriends coerce them into fighting until one of them is knocked out (or unable to get up by the count of 10) under the belief that this will settle once and for all who the better woman is.  Inevitably one woman will eventually dominate but if her opponent refuses to "stay down," and keeps getting up to take more punishment and her husband has to deal with her crying as she returns to her stool between rounds and by now there will usually be some blood.  When the end finally comes it's a tremendous high and thrill of victory for the winner, but in reality the fight should've been stopped much sooner.  When a woman loses one of these contests, I've never seen her want to challenge her opponent to a rematch.

It does suck to wake up seeing your friends looking down at you and laughing.

Is it worse if they are female friends?

I haven't seen a girl ko another girl. I can only speak from my experience against another guy.

I mean were the friends looking down at you laughing female?

[tommyfighter]

Yes, there were 2 girls and 4 guys plus the guy that ko'd me.

One day my boyfriend told me he didn't mind if some bitch knocked me out.
I think guys like a defenseless girl lying unconscious on the ground.  They think it's sexy.
I knocked out one bitch and I myself once got a hard knockout in a real street fight.  Trust me guys, it didn't look sexy, it looked gross and bloody.

So you have been on both sides of it.

  Clear Winner and no question if judges got it right.

  Clear Winner and no question if judges got it right.

Often, even without a knockout, there is a clear winner in a women's fight. In the end, anyway, the loser ends up on the ground and under the winner. And this is a more frequent end of the fight in the IRL, knockouts are rare. Of course, I also like to beat my opponent to a knockout, but I did it only once.

Imagine your friends enjoying watching you get destroyed. Imagine those friends leaving the venue without you, happy and not caring about you as you're left lying there KO'd. Imagine waking up hours later to find yourself in an empty venue,

A knockout doesn't last for hours. After I knocked out the bitch with a knee kick to her face, she was unconscious for only a few minutes. The same thing happened when I was beaten to a knockout. According to my friends, I woke up after 5 minutes, approximately.

Do you also want your friends to let your opponent keep beating you when you are helpless? Has this ever happened?

Yes. Not everyone is ready to get into a fight, especially if it's a female fight. Not many girls are ready to intervene in a fight when her friend is fighting.

I would be interested hearing a few more details on both of your fights. A knee kick to the face is an awesome way to win. How were you knockouted in your loss? I know your pain and jubiliation since both have happened to me.
