I think the argument is that if you can't defend against 3 head shots in quick succession, you've lost, period. As in, that should be a statutory definition of losing a match.

It would change the strategy of the sport, but it may help prevent brain damage over time.

Pretty much my sentiment. In a bar fight with no friends acting as referees, these rapid head shots could easily be a precursor to a 3rd or even 2nd degree murder charge. You’re not going for a win anymore, you’re trying to inflict permanent damage.
