should you go for a knock out in amateur boxing?

[Humble fighter]

yes or no? btw im 5.97 feet and weight 65 kilo. should i move upp to gain that knockout power (strengtht)?

You shouldn't you should aim to score points. If the knockout comes then take it.

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

sure why not, you should always go for the KO when it presents itself.

I don't think that's a good strategy. With bigger gloves, headgear, less time, and different kd system I think you might earn more kos than you normally would, but would also lose more often.
