I don't know. Some of these guys are too hard headed and won't give up. I watched a fight were a guy was getting his ass beat. Taking some huge punches and wouldn't stop. He didn't seem to really want to keep fighting but wouldn't stop. A ref has to look out for these fighters.

And in most cases if a guy is getting dropped too many times then its not a fight anymore.

And they are paid to fight up to 12 rounds. If they can finish a fighter early they get to go home early with full pay.
