Call me a wuss, call me yellow, but I'd take the quick ko any day of the week. Sure the ko might be more embarassing, but I'm of the thought live to fight another day...and I think a quick ko gives you a much better chance at that. Hence I really don't like to see overly brutal boxing matches, but there have been plenty of fights when I wish a corner or ref would stop a fight when a fighter is clearly overmatched, but they just let it go on in the hopes of landing that one shot, but how often does that happen, half the time the dude don't even have ko power....
