15 Round Fights

[NachoMan]

I agree with what you're saying pretextually, but that data does not suggest that in any sort of way. The evidence says it's no different.

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

I am not sure I follow you.

Elaborate.

[Addison]

The statistics are consistant with my statements.

Which ones, uncle?

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.

For and Against argument rules.

The ones you provided.

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.
