I have never been KO'd and don't know the answer to this.
I have heard a KO explained that it happens when a fighter is caught on the jaw and, the jaw bone moves back, hits a nerve and, shuts down your brain activity. Not sure if correct reason, Rogan explained it this way years ago.
Anyway, if a fighter was to clamp down on their mouthpiece so the jaw could not move, would this negate a KO from occuring?
I also realize that doing this would make a fighter more susceptible to a broken jaw...It would be like an unchecked kick.
Anyone know the answer? Do they teach fighters to clamp down?
