I'd rather see same day weigh in's come back before 15 rounders. Aside from a handful of fighters, nobody is fighting in their correct weight class.

No announcement yet.
Will there ever be 15 round fights again?

Originally posted by KO'er View PostLooking back at when Ray Mancini beat up Duk Koo Kim and Kim died 4 days later of brain injuries. Fights were shorted to 12 rds afterwards by the WBC, then later on by the WBA and WBO.
But IMO other fighters have died in the ring since then, so why haven't rounds been shortened to 10 rounds so? Plus Kim had to lose several pounds immediately before the fight, that played a part in his injuries yet. I think the rounds should be increased to 15 rounds again.
5 minutes per round though......

No, they'll never come back. I agree that there are many fights that can't end soon enough and that 15 rounds would be torture.
But it might be worth it for the 15 round classics we'd still get. 15 rounders allow for a lot more drama in fights. Slow starts aren't as big a deal as they are in 12 rounders and you get a lot more swings in momentum.
