Watching padded fast guys score points with speed. Less rounds means more speed attacks if it was computer judged instead of the current system.
Why would more protective padding lead to more knockouts?
I’d propose that with better head protection, you could have three, four-round fights in the same time span as a twelve-round fight, with more guaranteed boxing.
