Many fights go to the cards when both fighters look like they have more in them. With athlete fitness improving all the time I don't think 12 is enough.

I am in favor of draws and even rounds actually. I mean what if the 13th round is a 10-10 or even round.
It seems like years ago they were more prone to make rounds even.
Now it seems like they want a clear winner even though sometimes there just isn't one.
As I said, it lessens draws, it doesn't eliminate the possibility of a draw at all.
That is correct, they did find that the most damage occurred in those last few rounds.
Some recent fights would have been greater if they could have gone a few more rounds but many more fighters would be getting hurt. The 12 round limit is there for a good reason...

yes but what u gonna do about it.
No, 12 is plenty. I would even be for taking it down to 11 (less opportunity for a draw). It isn’t about fitness than it is about fighter safety. Dehydration combined with blows to the head will not lead to good things.
I'm not so sure, 15 rounds will increase the risk of brain damage and mental illness thanks to the build up of all the shots, so i think it's way safer as 12. TBH if you can't win the fight by 12 rounds then i don't think you deserve to win, if you had 15 again it's like stealing it in the last 3 rounds because your opponent is too exhausted.
If you keep it at 12 the most skilled boxers will win most likely, if you made it 15 it's just who can take the most shots and last the longest.
Keep in mind that's all my opinion so don't get all angry if you don't like it.
