I make up my own rules? No, not really, I just apply basic logic to understand that knockouts are defined by a lack of consciousness and not merely being stopped via strikes (e.g. Thomson/Diaz, what Cain did to Junior last night). How is someone getting punched in the face and still retaining consciousness but being too scared, tired, demoralized etc etc to do anything until the referee stops it a "knockout" in any way? Oh, because it isn't. It's a stoppage, it's a beating, it's a pummeling, etc but if the guy's brain does not actually briefly shut off due to sensory overload (again, like Amagov/Waldburger) then it simply cannot be a knockout because that's what a knockout actually is, and there is literally no way to substantiate that idea without pure conjecture, which means you actually just did what you yourself accused me of doing. So, huh.
