    Why should boxing be banned? Accidents happen.
    Should MMA be banned then?
    Kickboxing?
    Muay Thai?
    I mean even football theres hits where people gets paralyzed.
    Any contact sport will have accidents.. ****, even in soccer they break a leg and should that get banned? Naw, accidents happens in sports. Thats just the way it is, mother****ers that say certain sports should get banned should just not watch it. I don't care if they say "I say this because I care for the fighters health" - A proffesional fighter knows the business is a risky one, they don't need nobody to tell them or worry about them.

      maybe only for world title fights but the health of the boxer has to come first.

          I don't know about you guys but when i watch a PPV fight it feels like it's going to fast, and the fight is over before you know it.

          Most fighters can't even complelete 12 rounds, 15 would just be brutal.

            See. accidents happen, that's just nature .. Nothing people can do about it.
            They ban one sport and people will end up getting hurt in other sports.

              No. It was changed from 15 to 12 rounds for fighter safety. With already enough complications facing boxers it would be a bad idea. Sure maybe more KOs, but more deaths, more brain damage, more Pugilistic Parkinson's syndrome. I enjoy seeing KOs, but as a boxer I do not enjoy seeing injuries.
              i could'nt agree more, 12 rounds has hurt my body enough threw the years, i think i'd be brain dead by now if i fought 15 rounders.

                Or at least have Championship fights go 13......to cut down the likelihood of a draw.

                  They call themself champions, warriors and contenders - Well put them in 15 round fights them, like the old days.
                  cosign! it would sure as hell change the outcome in alot of championship bouts!

                    They changed it for the boxer's safety not to take our enjoyment away from us. I would want the most major of matches to be 15 rounds but whose to say what those matches ACTUALLY are.

                      the bigger question is... if Barrera and Morales fought on a 15 rounds fight... would there had been a KO??? or 45 rounds of WAR and CHAOS???
