Sooner or later someone is going to get hurt very badly

Pretty disgraceful, if anything you have to hope that its such a mismatch that it ends early instead of the guy taken a drawn out beating just for the guy's health, people don't usually get seriously hurt from early KO's.

Right, and the sad thing is a lot of these journeymen that get thrown into mismatches got where they are because they are reasonably tough/durable. And most of them are way too tough for their own good. And like you said, THATS when things get very dangerous.
