also as far as the gloves, even if the padding is similar, although mma gloves are 4oz i believe, the size means you can be a lot more precise in mma gloves and get through where you wouldn't be able to with boxing gloves, and all your power is focused in a more compact area on impact.
That's not what knocks people out. It's the snapping of the head. Focusing the impact would make cutting and superficial damage more likely, but it's thought that boxing gloves may actually make brain damage (which is essentially what a knock-out is, a brain-damaging impact) more likely (same with helmets in amateur boxing actually).
