The Art of Knock Out

In contact sports such as Muay Thai, Boxing, Kick Boxing and the like, knocking the opponent out refers to the act of hitting the other fighter so that he/she falls to the ground and is unable to get up again within ten seconds. So far the rule book definition. However, there is much more. First of all knocking someone out is a form of artistry.
