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.
I think the extra point for a ko is just a gimmick. I doubt it's mathematically possible to even make a difference to who the bottom to are, whether an extra point is awarded via ko or not.
Can somebody with a brain work that out for me?
Obviously mathematically if you win two fights you have to be in the top 4 it would be impossible not to be. If you lose two fights I guess it would be mathematically impossible to qualify whether you won that other fight by ko or not.
Maybe if there is draw it will make a difference but its highly unlikely.
Maybe it affects seeding the semi finals or something?
Still its clearly a pointless gimmick.
Assuming no draws
Fighter A. 3-0
Fighter B. 2-1
Fighter C. 2-1
Fighter D. 1-2
Fighter E. 1-2
Fighter F. 0-3
Again it ain't that complicated man.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
