    Plenty of guys have gotten hurt real bad fighting 8 10 12 round bouts just in the last year.

      My point is there'd be serious injuries in boxing if all fights were just 4 rounds.

        One problem with this is that a lot of fighters won't fight as hard in the early rounds as they do now. So you could see some snooze fests for the first 8, 9 rounds.

          I see alot of people posting that if boxing went back to 15 rounds that fighters would risk more injury, that is an illogical statement!! The #1 thing they forget is that there will still be a referee in the ring who can stop the fight, a corner that can throw in the towel, & a ringside doctor that can also intervene if things look bad. Come the f&*k on, the only thing that will happen is fighters will truely have to test their conditioning. Why would u see fighters take it easy in the early rounds?? If their opponent can be finished early, & the dminant fighter has killer instinct, a 15 rounder can still end in 3!! Now can u Dig Dat?!?!?

            no

            a lot of fights are dead after 10 rounds let alone 15

            consider watching skelton vs sprott for 15 rounds LOL
