The pressure point is at the very top of the head in that area, and for the pressure point to have an effect, it would have to be hit with a narrow, fine point instead of a padded glove. And the recipient would crumble throughout his body, a little at a time, not the way Tupou did. And he was hit at the top of the head, not on the side where the temple is. If he was hit on the temple, I'd buy your argument. But everyone says, and what I saw, was that he was hit above the forehead.

Now I'm not saying Tupou wasn't hit. He was. But it was a glancing blow off the top of the head. Not a punch that hit solidly, but a glancing blow, judging by how his glove continued in an upward arc over Tupou's head.

So I'm not arguing that he wasn't hit. I'm arguing that the punch was not strong enough to cause a KO.
