Reason 2- it almost contradicts reason 1.....again the 8 count is implemented and a guy seems clear enough to continue...Fight continues and the guy absorbs more punishment because during the 8 count he was able to clear up the few cobwebs he had allowing him to absorb more punishment.....it is better to be KO'd then have the chance to clear up then go in and absorb twice the punishment....
I guess the best way to explain the second part would be this...
Run a car with no oil in it.....Just as the car starts to make noises shut it off...wait an hour then repeat the process...Finally once the engine seizes not only do you have to replace the heads and pistons but everything else that was taking abuse from the constant on and off action...when in all actuality you should have just let it seize the first time and all you would of had to do is replace the pistons and heads....
Don't know if that made sense but best example i could think of with only 1 cup of coffee in me
