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.
