The one good thing about Abraham KO'ing Taylor in the first fight of the tournament, is that you know Froch and Dirrell were watching it, and now have it in their head that they need to get a KO to keep up in points, and this can make it an even better fight.

Same for when Kessler and Ward fight.

I don't think KOs are that important; remember only two fighters are going out in the first round and I doubt Taylor can recover from this.

KO's are 2 points, that's a pretty big deal IMO as far as making points for keeping the spots.

It would had there been a bigger pool of fighters but four out of six makes the round-robin stage little more than a brilliant bit of fun: You may be right however, it may help the one American fighter who is going to scrape through into the semis

Ko's are only 1 extra point not two. They are not important at all. As the top 4 qualify if you win two fights its mathematically impossible not to qualify.

If you lose two fights, it would be mathematically impossible to qualify I believe even with a ko.

So the ko points are just meaningless ultimately in terms of making it to the semi's.

Urm? The draw isn't split is it? You can qualify with one win so long as two fighters lose all three.

*edit* Even if the draw was split you could still win just so long as one guy in your half of the draw lost all three (and, obviously, your one win came against that guy) although I'm sure the draw isn't split.
