Championship fights: 15 rounds to 12 rounds

[Great]

12 is good.

[leff]

12 is good.

Yes 12 is good but 15 is great.

I think it depends on what you remember growing up that influences your choice of rounds. I remember 15 round fights and it seemed to me that it didn't put the guy who liked to start slower at a bigger disadvantage as it does today. I feel like there would be less controversial decisions as well. THose extra 3 rounds really did seperate the men from boys at times. But maybe the trade off of fighter safety was worth it. If it really is safer.

I know that I miss the 15 round title fight and in some cases, it could be used today, like possibly unification matches.

[QUOTE=Silencer]Twelve rounds for me is the ideal no of rounds...[/QUOTE
I agree.

12 runds is better coz they have to conserve enrgy to go 15 rounds so this has better action.

Fighters will get tired in 15 rounds 12 is better.

I am in favor of shortening the fights even more. IF fighters were pacing themselves for 8 rounds in stead of 12, I think fighters would take more risks.

Maybe it can be a situation like K2 where if after a certain number of rounds, the judgess can decide if they want more.

I agree with you. I hate seeing clinching BS, why fights 12 runds just make it 8 or 10, quality beats quantity.

Thats because they don't train. 15 rounds will create more action because they have to train a lot harder. And it will sort out the crappy people form the bad people. There isn't one heavyweight out there right now that could compete in the 80's on back.
