Is нокаут the same спорт as boxing? If different, what, how? Thanks. спасибо
нокаут это не спорт, это спортивный термин из бокса, пришедший к нам из английского языка. Нет такого спорта, как нокаут.
There is no sport like knock-out, it's just a sportive word which came to us from English therminology.
The only нокаут I know is when the defeated boxer is on the floor and can't stand up.
That's what I was hoping. I have a book listing sports written in Russian, and it mentions this knockout. I couldn't figure it out. I thought I wasn't reading it right. спасибо Leof!Quote:

He wasn't refering to a "Knockout" as a sport.Quote:

Just, so you know.
I still don't understand. How homerun (just in case: I know what it is) can mean "the same thing as baseball"? It doesn't have sense for me.Quote:

well I guess to make it more understandable he coulda said something like "Is knockout the same term used in Russian boxing" or something, but I understood what he meant.
