osu b3n! there is a subtle difference........in "full contact" you are allowed to punch to the face with gloves......in knockdown, normally you are not.
"full contact" is terminology for a different type of fighting (full contact to the body+face)..........................like shall we say kickboxing..... rather than the amount of force delivered by a punch or kick.
i hope this helps.......
