One night you're bored, channel surfing, and you come to a sports show just as the first round of a boxing match begins. You don't know who either guy is and you know nothing about their background or record.
In the early rounds, boxer 1 shows that he is technically superior, using a solid jab and lateral movement to outbox his opponent, and throwing a few flashy but not particularly damaging combinations. Boxer 2 is aggressive. He isn't as well polished, and most of his punches miss/are blocked, but as the fight wears on, the ones that do land start to have an impact, and boxer 1 slows down a bit, throws less punches, and although he is still ahead on the scorecards, he loses a couple of rounds.
So, going into the final round of the fight, do you cheer for boxer 1 to find the last bit of energy, and box his way to safety and a decision win, or do you hope that boxer 2 finally catches up to him and breaks him down, scoring a KO?
