Yes, and no. It's up to a fighter to do what's best to win. What I don't like is trash talk, but not fighting that way. Example is BHOP vs Taylor 2. BHOP said he knows he needs a ko but didn't fight like it. Also PBF vs ODH was oversold and under delivered.
Fighters priority should be winning. Then winning decisively. I hate when someone coasts to a win or loss. If you can win on points easily why not try to get a ko? Not saying get wild and be to risky, but to take zero risk is unacceptable. The same when a guy is losing badly and he doesn't seem to try any harder for the ko. So it's a fine line and it's more about intent than performance.
