From a medical point of view, that of trying to ascertain if a person might possibly be at a heightened risk of receiving irreversible brain damage, I understand it.

Atleast this can't really be exploited by the fighter, and is on the ref. Unlike low blow extra time and using the Hopkins 2nd try at a much needed rest faking that 2nd low blow to get collected. Was a nice try by him, but he failed and got told..."Git yer ass back in there!"
But if that was the case then surely the referee should just stop the fight, If a fighter is obviously dazed and not responding the way the referee wants the fight should be stopped there and then.
