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
