no decision fights

I would like some clarification on these early century fights. We're knockouts allowed?

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Yeah, I think that's the only way you won or if the corner stopped it

KO's were allowed, but not decision wins. Sometimes they would use the scores of the press to decide who should have had their hand raised. Thankfully boxing has long ago gotten past this.

When do they went down to 12 rounds?

Beginning around 1983, they went to the 12 round distance for WBC, at least.
