Hot take: If a fighter is dominating a fight, he should try to knock out or stop his opponent instead of settling for a decision. Nobody wants to see a fighter play tag against an outmatched opponent.

I agree but for different reasons. One shouldn't let an opponent hand around due to increased chances of a freak accident happening. Cut, intentional foul, or a rallying comeback. Get em out of there and go home early. -
If you don’t have the power, you can’t help it. Not every great fighter has the power to just KO an outmatched opponent. Plus it also depends on the outmatched opponent and how strong he is as far taking a punch goes.
Lastly, sometimes what makes a fighter dominate so easily is because of how little of a chance he gives his opponent to hit him. Maybe that’s just his style and that makes him great.
I thought AJ looked outmatched in there vs Usyk, you can even see Usyk clearly went for the KO. He couldn’t get it.
If every fight was like prime Mike Tyson vs Larry Holmes, that would be fun. But it’s not, and it never will be. There are different styles, strengths and weaknesses.Comment
