It's about whether a RULE works. The three knockdown rule CLEARLY doesn't. It can't differentiate between a GENUINE knockdown and a SLIP.
Spot on Fenster CC Barkley wasn't badly hurt when he was down 3 times against Benn, he was caught cold then survived the on slaught because round was over but because of 3 knockdown rule we missed out on what could of been amazing fight, even though 1st round was one of the best rounds in boxing history.
