I think if fights were shorter boxing would be more entertaining as boxers could go full mode all six rounds and not fight the first six hard and then cruise the rest as it happens in boxing now a days.
Making championship fights shorter would be a travesty that drove people away. I think championship fights should be 13 rounds. Less chance of a draw, without the risk 15 rounds once posed.
No, when you see great boxing, 12rds is PERFECT. Watch some of those classic fights with guys like DLH, Barrera, young Pac, Morales and tell me you want them shorter.
If you make fights shorter you take away the highly important tactical aspect so forget it. 12 rounds for championship fights is ok. I would prefer 15 rounds if not for medical reasons.
Fights aren't too long, there's just to many boring fighters who think running and jabbing, and constantly grabbbing is a form of entertainment that people want to see.
And it's not.
Put on a Floyd fight in front of casuals and listen to how many people say, "that's why boxing sucks, its all dancing now."
Black people be like, "he slick doe"
