        The thread is about how fights would have been different if they weren't fought for 15 rounds. If the fight was completed over(the course of) 12 rounds. Had the boom boom fight with Kim only been 12 rounds Kim likely wouldn't have suffered so many blows to the head.

            I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Louis-Conn 1 yet.

                What about Arguello - Pryor? Didnt Panama Lewis give him the black bottle
                that "he mixed" around the 13th? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

                  Rocky Marciano vs. Jersey Joe Walcott

                  Good idea for a thread by the way.

                      I think Panama Lewis gave him that bottle twice, if I remember, once it was early.

                      Fights that would have been different if they were 15 instead of 12?

                      Leonard/Hagler sticks out the most in that sense. And if we're talking which fights would be different if they were only 12? Leonard/Hearns probably. The two biggest ones I can think of.
