I saw Pollard box once in 2020 and for a boxer with a long losing record, he looked fairly strong & durable. He put up a decent fight, but just threw too few punches.
I should imagine Pollard's mindset is almost pathologically programmed to lose. Like a compulsion. Shame, because there should at least be a few more wins on his slate.

How about a four-man, winner take all tournament? While unfair to three fighters who probably could use the money, it certainly should provide some motivation.
