The 2 points can make a difference. Let's say Abraham loses one of his next two fights, then wins the other on points. He will have a total of 3 points.

And let's say that another fighter wins all three fights on points, he as well will have 3 points. So Abraham gives himself a little breathing room.

And as well, it still gives Taylor a shot at getting back in the game as well, if he finds some way to knock out his opponents. It won't happen, but it still gives him that chance.

The 4 with the most points, goes on to the semi-finals. So yeah, maximizing the points, is the best shot for them.

First off, its 2 for a win and 3 for a ko, so if he won his third he would have 5 points not 3.

My point is there are only six fighters and therefore 5 possible opponents.

Ok lets look at this. If two fighters lost all three then KO's wouldnt matter because the top 4 qualify so 1 win would qualify whether you won by ko or not.

I'm not sure if its possible mathematically though for 1 person to lose all three and two people to only win one. It probably depends on the fight draw but if Abraham loses his next two, then Im not sure if they could mathematicall somehow avoid fighting either each other or Taylor in any of the other two rounds, so one of them would have to win.

Remember there are three rounds and only six fighters, so certain results cannot happen. For example its mathematically impossible for more than two fighters to get a 100 percent record after three fights, its also mathematically impossible for three fighters to have all losses because two of them will have to fight each other.

Im not sure if its mathematically possible for either three boxers to finish on 1-2 or have one boxer on 0-3 and two on 1-2.

Alright, I had my points mixed up, I thought it was 0-1-2.

lol, as if these guys give a fuck about scoring points.

Any of them would bite your hand off for a SD win at the moment.

As always Abraham entrance was awesome, I like Scorpions as well but the anthem interpretation wasn’t exactly on my taste.

True, man

this has Taylor win all over it. Fact./

[ElTerribleMorales]

i have it 3-0 Taylor, Abraham has his moments but Taylor's controlling the pace with his jab, even if it's mainly landing on the gloves, his jab is doing it's job it's keep Abraham from throwing his punches, round 4 just finished and i give it to Taylor as well, going by this pace Taylor shouldn't gas out, key term is SHOULDN'T

Whoa .Ten foot poll around here somewhere .Seriously though,Nearly every fight over there leads with some crappy Wal mart compilation cd out of the 80's 2 for 1 'sales' bin.

HUUUUGE difference watching this on big screen vs stream.I dont feel like I'm suffering from glaucoma now.

[No Contest]

Abraham let JT work at his pace first two rounds, just block wont tire out JT.

[skel1983]

Fuck Showtime!!! 20 min delay.

[killersheep]

The one good thing about Abraham KO'ing Taylor in the first fight of the tournament, is that you know Froch and Dirrell were watching it, and now have it in their head that they need to get a KO to keep up in points, and this can make it an even better fight.

Same for when Kessler and Ward fight.

I don't think KOs are that important; remember only two fighters are going out in the first round and I doubt Taylor can recover from this.

I think the extra point for a ko is just a gimmick. I doubt it's mathematically possible to even make a difference to who the bottom to are, whether an extra point is awarded via ko or not.

Can somebody with a brain work that out for me?

Obviously mathematically if you win two fights you have to be in the top 4 it would be impossible not to be. If you lose two fights I guess it would be mathematically impossible to qualify whether you won that other fight by ko or not.

Maybe if there is draw it will make a difference but its highly unlikely.

Maybe it affects seeding the semi finals or something?

Still its clearly a pointless gimmick.

Assuming no draws

Fighter A. 3-0
Fighter B. 2-1
Fighter C. 2-1
Fighter D. 1-2
Fighter E. 1-2
Fighter F. 0-3

Again it ain't that complicated man.
