OK, we'll have to agree to disagree here. I could picture a 15 round fight where a guy gets hurt in the 4th with a punch so in the 5th his opponent tries to KO him but doesn't. As the fight goes on, the fighter has the going for KO option only 1 more time. If he realizes he's way behind on the cards, I can't picture fighters with decent power (more than a Cory) not trying for the KO more than just 1 more time in rounds 11-15.

Like the great 1st Leonard/Hearns fight. Ray'd hurt Hearns in the 6th with a body shot but Hearns survived & then out boxed him. Ray realized he was falling behind on the cards & Angelo told him he was blowing it. Ray went after him in the 13th & finished him in the 14th. I'm sure Ray would have gone after Hearns in the 15th as well.
