Explained in plain English
TKO stands for 'Technical Knockout'. In boxing, a TKO happens when the referee stops the fight because one boxer can't safely continue, even if they're not completely unconscious. This is often due to a series of unanswered punches, like those Ryan Garcia delivered to Conor Benn, or an injury. It's a way to protect fighters.
