Perhaps this topic has been brought up before, but I'm certainly not going to scroll thru hundreds of pages.

For instance a guy gets knocked down within the first 30 seconds, gets up and completely dominates his opponent, to the point of staggering him.

Or vice versa. Dominates a round from the onset, then gets floored towards the end of it.

I'm in favor of a 10-8 round. As difficult as knockdowns are, not to mention the machismo aspect of it, they should be rewarded regardless.
