What percentage of boxing matches end in knockout?

Why is this thread invisible.

How they gonna know that; nobody here even knows how many boxing matches take place in a year in the first place.

Can't work out a percentage if you don't have the base number to work with in the first place.

Upper level knockouts are really, really rare. Most "knockout artists" are just can crushers. Highly skilled boxers are very hard to knock out due to agility and toughness, and when they do get knocked out, they're usually on the downward slope at the end of their careers.

Yep, yep, I don't think knockouts mean a lot unless they involve class fighters.

Very very tough to knock out a well-conditioned top fighter.

Approx. 64.2%

I looked up the boxing matches that happened in the 25th on boxrec. 5 out of 17 fights ended in KO or TKO. But that's just one day out of the long history of professional pugilism. On the 23rd in Thailand, half of the six fights that happened ended in KOs.

Please. Just about every champion/contender level boxer is like 42-9 career wise, with 6 of those losses as decision losses and 3 TKO/KO losses at the very tail end after they overstayed their welcome. A prime condition top 10 boxer is very, very hard to knockout.

i don't understand what bradley meant when he said, "Very very tough to knock out a well-conditioned top fighter." perhaps he meant that a prime condition top 10 boxer is very, very hard to knockout.

I smell sarcasm.

I'd say 64.3% , more precisely 64.329%

But there will always be exceptions to the case.
