Superboy Prime dying from the impact of his own punch can certainly be classified as a defeat. Taking a few punches on the other hand is not in itself enough to considered a defeat.
It's a concession because you changed your statement from "SBP defeated DK" to "SBP thought he defeated DK."
This is your interpretation of what happened, not what actually happened. But even if it was the case it does not change the fact that Superboy Prime did not defeat Batman Who Laughs.
He died in the book and put down the comic on Prime Earth. I'm not sure how else you'd interpret it.
What the ****? In order to make your theory to work, DK needed to allow SBP to beat him down to a point that he could take the power from him
So by your logic, DK didn't want to use more power to engage SBP while he was perfectly fine about his power being taken by Prime
Not after the opponent just beat you to a point you need to beg for a truce
Again, what are you talking about? No, I didn't change my statement, I literally repeat why SBP's thought/word could be considered as a proof/not a bluster.
So you are suggesting DK deliberately wanted his dark worlds to be destroyed?
