An education on what a "walk-off KO" is

[GrantB13]

I've seen a handful of knockouts erroneously referred to as "walk-offs". Just so we're all clear, this is a walk-off KO:

And this:

Now, here is NOT what a walk-off is:

One more in case there's any confusion:

I've seen both of these KO's being called walk-off knockouts. They are not. Can we all agree what a walk-off means?

 

[sherdogwantedtonamemekiki]

Anyone know if Mark Hunt has the record for walk offs. He seemed to do it quite often in mma.

 

[Druken_Vovchanchyn]

The second one at least he showed some restraint. Reminds me of shogun a little.

 

[Xoleth]

Necktats isn't because he raised the hand
You don't do this
You walk it off, with a bored face, like there is no biggie

 

[mirko>anyone]

It's often utilized to coerce the ref into a stoppage. We've seen that go both ways.

 

[2004 account]

A lot of them are legit but some walk off kos just seem forced sometimes. I like finality

 

[Xoleth]

OP is this a late stoppage or not?

How about this?

And this?

How it's done.

This should be classified as a HendOff KO

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

I think Hunt was just too scared to go in Mir guard. The ref shouldn't have stopped that fight imo.

A walk off KO is literally when the guy 'walks off'

Do some people think it's when a guy goes out old? That's just a KO lol

And this is the rare stand there and bow KO

I don't care if the guy is 100% out cold or not. A walk-off is no more shots after the one that puts the opponent out/down. No follow up strikes.

How about this?

And this?

I'd say they're late. But that's subjective to the individual. A walk-off is not. If you hit the guy 4-5 times when he's out, that's not a walk-off, objectively.

Yes, I know. I'm asking why people think those other ones are walk off KO's? Because they're out cold? I don't think I've seen anyone on here get it wrong

Ah I see. I can't remember anyone specifically here getting it wrong probably, but for Lewis/Blaydes one of those dumb tweets on the broascast called it a walk-off KO and the second example I gave the commentator Brenden Fitzgerald called a walk-off for Quarantillo even though the ref prevented more than one follow up strike. I don't get either one of those ESPECIALLY Lewis. Two massive shots on an unconscious, stiff fighter should never be called a walk-off by anyone with half a brain.

 

[Jorge Luis Borges]

My favorite walkoff KO is Hendo:

But it was good to see Bisping get a walk off KO of his own against Rockhold:

 

[Stan]

 

[Zorro]

How it's done.

This guy gets it!
Fuckin Joachim Hansen was the man, I miss that guy.

 

[Egészségére!]

ko w follow ups < walk off ko < walk off ko after being taunted
