    I've always been partial to the phrase "starched". Yes, I like my carbs too but I've always thought it was a great term for knocking someone out.

    My favourite word for getting knocked out is 'iced'.

    That's a Brit term. It's not exclusive to boxing.

    A fighter being "shot'' does it for me, it's so unnecessarily overdramatic. It's great.

    I know a lot of old school trainers used to refer to the jab as the "stick." I don't know if the term is still used.
