From a technical standpoint, you're relying on constant autofocus when you take a high-FPS, high motion sequence of shots. From a more human standpoint. If you've got to spend 10s taking just the right photo, that's 9s of opportunity lost. You may have taken the photo of the victor, but you missed the opponent angrily kicking the dirt in defeat.
