Andy Clarke - 'Boxing wouldn't be boxing without the knockouts'

The knockout. A sudden and concussive end to a sporting contest that is unique to combat sports. 

No single action in sport can turn the path of the contest so suddenly in the losing person's favour, than a punch that causes unconsciousness in their opponent. 

Boxing commentator Andy Clarke has written a book about its effects. We discuss the two fights between Carl Froch and George Groves, Ricky Hatton's knockout losses to Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, how the ability to knock out an opponent adds to a boxer's aura and how it can be to their detriment, and I mention some of my favourite knockouts.
