    I'm praying to Allah Almighty that Imane gets a TKO on that Hungarian chud tomorrow.

    Please let her get a TKO, let the transphobes stew in their anger and die mad no-i-in-pezza

        So it's more definitive and shuts down her career; that Hungarian doesn't deserve a boxing career let alone a career as an Olympic athlete.

          Ah okay, I didn't realize it would hurt her career more. Yeah, you're definitely right.

          how does a TKO hurt her career more? I know very little about boxing, other than it's cool when transphobes get punched in the liver

            You can get knocked out with a single punch, let's you make the argument that your opponent got lucky

            Getting knocked down 3 times in a single round is just telling everyone that you got whooped

              is that what a TKO is, getting knocked down 3 times in a round?

                Yep

                At least according to my boxing knowledge

                Which, admittedly, mainly comes from Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!

                You can get TKO'd on the feet if you're unsteady after a standing eight count (that part in the movies where they count after the boxer gets owned (as opposed to a mandatory eight count if you get knocked down)). Doctor/team stoppage between rounds would also be a TKO. But it looks like Olympic rules are a little different, the interchangeable term, and perhaps more clear for the layman, the referee stops contest (RSC) is used[1]. It also doesn't look like there's any limit to knockdowns as long as you keep getting up. You will almost certainly at least lose by points if you eat a bunch of knockdowns and you will likely face an abandonment as your team would throw in the towel if you are just getting pummeled.

                If, for the sake of argument, you get punched in the face, start crying, and decide to stop, you would get an abandonment (ABD) which is a loss by any other name.

      A Taiwanese boxer also catching strays for the exact same reason (transvestigation bullshit) is up tomorrow too for the finals, here's hoping they both demolish their opponents
