Championship fights: 15 rounds to 12 rounds

[K-DOGG]

My two cents: ALL WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP FIGHTS SHOULD BE 15 ROUNDS.


The World Championship should be something special.....which brings up the topic of banning all governing bodies; but that's another thread.

I agree 1000%.

15 Rd. fights would have probably ended boxing in the U.S. for good, if they hadn't changed to 12 rds. IMO alot more fighters would have died as result of trauma sustained in a fight. Can you imagine what Meldrick Taylor would have been like if he had fought three more rds. against Chavez I mean damn he was never the same anyways, But I think he would have been brain dead after another 9 minutes of that war.

Taylor wouldn't have gone 3 more rounds. He had taken heavy shots thru out the fight. He was busted up and bleeding, eyes swelled up. Chavez
may have been out boxed, but he was landing the harder shots.

Changing fights from 15 to 12 hasn't stopped fighters from dieing.
Boxing is a violent sport. Bowe never fought a 15 round fight, his speech is slurred. Duran fought in 15 rounders, he is ok. I don't think it has ever been proven that Ali's Parkinson's was caused by boxing.

12 round fights are like flies, they are every where. Elimination fights are 12 rounds. Most big non-title fights are 12 rounds. 12 rounds for IBO, WBO
IBA, NABF, etc title fights. The promoters make everything 12 rounds.
Evander Holyfield fought 15 rounds in only his 12th fight. That was a brutal fight. He is the only active fighter today that has been 15 rounds.
How many good fights have ended in draws at 12 rounds? Too many.

I believe that unification fights should be 15 rounds. But I'm old school
what do I know.

Damn bloody right!

You've got me convinced.

You've got me convinced.

Fly, my man, whether you know it or not....you were born "old school".

Do you fancy joining me in creating a super governing body with 15 round title fights and a more old school feel?

I would except for one problem. Should such a body be put together, what's to keep it from being just another problem for the sport in the long range?

Well, let me think on it. I'm all about an "honest" body...if one could be formed; but something must be done to kill the WBC, WBA, WBO, and IBF. Perhapst contracts...hmmmmm.


All the rest must burn for the NWO to rule.
