    Addison, you keep making references to data. Has there been a study completed on this? Have you compiled your own db? What is your source?

      No. It was changed for a reason. It was obvious that Marquez didn't want anymore. He was hanging on for dear life at certain points in the 12th. Had it gone to the 13th round, Izzy would've just brutalized him more, and there simply is no need for that.

      The right man won the fight.

        I am not sure I follow you.

        Elaborate.

          The statistics are consistant with my statements.

              Dr. Margaret Goodman wrote an extensive article on the subject in a printed publication. I think it was The Ring.

              She mocked the logic behind 12 round fights.

                    No, these are in a sense irrelevant, we still have more deaths in 15 round fights then 12 rounds fights and under different circumstances like planned mismatches, infitedness, etc...

                    And still, I stand by my notion that 12 rounds is an optimal length for a championship fight.

                      You know what fighters are not doing now that fighters were doing in the 1930's? Fighting 3 times a week.
