Podkolzin clearly knows how he has to play to stay in the league. Not too sure if it’s a way he will survive though. Trading shots with serious face punchers isn’t going to go well for him over time.

Didn't expect Podkolzin to be the first to drop the gloves, and especially get the W. After what Greer did to him he must've done some training, wow.

Holy crap, Pod wasn't even breathing hard. That was one hell of an overhand right.

Hardest punch I’ve seen in a long time in the NHL.

Any recent examples out there of a better one punch impact than what Podz landed?

No. Colton Orr vs Todd Fedoruk is a KO.

Lauzon did not lose consciousness. This is a TKO.
No, it is not. TKO stands for Technical Knock Out, which means you can't get back on your feet after the count count(8 or 10).

In hockey there is no count, so the point is moot, but any punch that causes a guy to go down directly is...pretty damn good.

Lauzon did get up, but Pod's punches were straight rights that a boxer would've been proud of. Was surprised to see it.

It was a TKO not a KO, end of story. If you had spent time on the Hockey Fights.com boards or Drop Your Gloves.com you would know the difference. Even your definition of TKO in regards to boxing is wrong as you're actually describing a KO. A TKO is when the referee stops the fight because he feels it's unsafe for the fighter to continue or in some fights there's a 3 knockdown rule that results in a TKO.

There is more than one way to have a TKO, and it depends on whether you are boxing, or in some other combative sport such as Muay Thai, etc. That is a whole different conversation.

Bottom line is that hockey is not a combative sport, and there are no set definitions, or awards for fighting. The winner, and the loser, both get 5 minutes in the penalty box. No belt, no judges, or referees decisions.

A TKO in Muay Thai is the same as boxing. That definition you gave of a TKO isn't correct for any combat sport.

Yeah, Hockey doesn't have any of that but there's still a clear difference between a KO and a TKO.

It’s a TKO. Any hockey enforcer will tell you the exact same thing.

Would you say this isn’t a TKO either?
