What is the difference between KO & TKO in boxing?

KO & TKO are two of the possible outcomes of a boxing match. KO stands for Knock Out which is when one fighter is unable to continue fighting after being hit by their opponent with a legal punch. TKO stands for Technical Knock Out which is when one fighter is unable to continue fighting due to their corner throwing in the towel or a referee or doctor stopping the fight due to the fighter being too injured or too tired to continue.
