    So I'd have to watch three more rounds of Valuev-Holyfield? I like the 12 rounds they got now, it's safer.

      Maybe it would be different if I was around when 15 round fights were the norm, but as an 80's baby, I think 12 rounds is the perfect length.

        it's not just for safety reasons they scrapped the 15round fights. it's also for telecast reasons, so they could fit one fight in an hour long program. 12x3mins=36 plus 11mins in between rounds=47mins. plus prefight introductions equals 1hour. i think this is more the main reason.

            It sucks when really great 12 rd fights seem to just fly by and leave you hungry for more action, but 12 rds is much safer for the fighters.
