Fouls and High Control fighters

All my evidence is annectdotal, but it seems that Fighters with "Seldom" foul rating and a High Control Factor get called on fouls more often than a Low Control Factor fighter with a Frequent Foul rating.

Does the Foul algorithym come into play like the Fast Action Cards of the original board game? I would think that this would cause a more frequent calling of fouls on high control factor fighters. And with the wider range of control factors in the computer version over the board game, this could be magnified.

Or is it intended because the higher control factor fighter throws more punches and has greater opportunity to foul. I don't have enough knowledge of the sport to know if such should be the case or not.

Yep I think this is probably true, As logically you cant be fouling if your not dishing out punishment of some kind which means you have to be in control at that point.

If you think about it fighters that get ko'd early for example do not get a chance to get disqualified for fouls as they are already out of the fight lol.
