15 Round Fights

Yeah, I would say so. CHECKMATE.

Yeah.. you really got me.

Dude, do you know why boxers don't drunk water during fights, they usually just spit it out. And do you realize how much water they need to rehydrate, I would say a gallon or so. You think they can drink a gallon of water in between the rounds?

Believe it or not I've actually physically exerted myself to the point of sweating before, drank an appropriate amount of water, and rehydrated.

[Addison]

Yeah.. you really got me.

Thanks, you're more gracious than Shane Mosley..

I think that if the argument is for keeping it to 12 is for the fighters safety - why not ten - or eight. At some point it does not make sense. 15 rounds was rough - but they made for brilliant fights. I could see it for mega fights - it would be sweet to bring back Ali's Alley.

I use steroids, too. So, we have a lot in common.

I humored you guys on this water stuff and still made my point.

I understood the argument was already over when I talked about the scientific and medical evidence and there was no response..

And you obviosuly were fighting a vicious fight where you been continously punished for 14 rounds, right?

Don't ever compare pedestrian situation to a brutal boxing match.

I dehydrated myself plenty of times for various reasons and yes, it is pretty easy to rehydrate yourself, BUT you can not rehydrate yourself during the fight and especially taking into account things like the accumulated damage, fasted mode of the body, etc....

This just would not cut.

I see what you're saying but its about degrees, and you can't base an argument for something this significant on degrees.
