12 is ok, if we make 15 rounds fights, it'll be tougher but more dangerous for fighters'lives. Can you imagine Vargas fighting 15 rounds?
15 rounds was better for great fights like Duran Leonard but could you watch 15 rounds of Floyd Baldomir or worse 15 rounds of B-Hop?
12 is fine, but if its a draw on the cards make them box a 13th.
Co-sign, 12 is fine who would want to watch Cory Spinks or someone like that for 15 rounds, but the 13th round idea is good
Should have stayed at 15 ......
Do many of you know why it was changed to 12 rounds for pro fights???
It was because of the TV commercials - Back when boxing was always being shown on regular TV, the sponsors started complaining because it was too much boxing and not enough commercials. {Money was being lost} So the TV stations and Wide World Of Sport obliged and went to a 12-round format.
Since PPV is the order of the day ..... we need to go back to 15 rounds.
this one also makes a lot of sense, either 13 rounds or 15 rounds for me

I prefer 15.
The official reason given for the change from 15 to 12 was fighter safety, but has it really proven to be safer? Fighters could just pace themselves a little different and the damage done could be just about the same. Fighters have been killed/permamently damaged in fights that went 11 or 12...does that mean we should change to 10?
The change in weigh-in procedures bother me more than the change in number of rounds.
15 is too much, 12 is garbage beecause it's way to easy to get a draw. 13 is fine.
It'd be way too easy to get a draw with 13 rounds as well. Say if you have 124-123 in an otherwise clean fight, but the winner suffers a KD or commits a foul - you'd still get a draw.
Draws are part of the sport IMO. Bad judging is what ruins things.
How about either 13 or 11 rounds to eliminate closer scores and many draws?
Fouls and KDs can make that redundant, though. Sometimes a draw is justified if a fight really was that close.
what the title said, how many rounds of boxing would you like there to be? 10, 12, 15, 20 or even more like they had in the old, old days?
12 is fine, but if its a draw on the cards make them box a 13th.
