knockdowns

Fighter hits canvas

Knockdowns are blows that send an opponent to the ground, especially in boxing.

A fighter with three knockdowns in his career has been floored three times.

The term extends to any forceful toppling: The storm caused several knockdowns of power lines.

In furniture, knockdown describes pieces designed for easy assembly and disassembly: knockdown shelving, knockdown bookcases.
