I could see it working with boxing treating someone trapped in the corner as a knockdown (1 point deduction) and moving them back to the middle. Nothing will truly prevent concussions in heavyweight fights though, a single punch coming from an unexpected angle can be enough there.

I don’t think it will prevent concussion but it might prevent career ending fights.

Some guys would be proud of ending someone’s career but it doesn’t sit well with everyone. And a couple people have died after a fight. I don’t know of any stories where the other fighter felt anything but terrible about it.
