Long count
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with Mesoamerican Long Count calendar.
Long count or slow count is a term used in boxing. When a boxer is knocked down in a fight, the referee will count over them and the boxer must rise to their feet, unaided, by the count of ten or else deemed to have been knocked out. A long count occurs when a boxer is given more than the allotted time (a notional ten seconds[1]) to rise to his or her feet.
