Which fights would have different results if the fight had gone 15 rounds?

[DrewWoodside]

I also think Margarito would've prevailed over Williams in 15 rounds.

Other than Haler Leonard, this is the matchup I would most like to have seen go 15. Margarito was really coming on strong and P-Dubb was definitely losing his momentum.

Hatton-Mayweather, Hatton would KTFO Mayweather.


Oh no, 15 rounds.

I thought you said have an UNBIASED ref LOL

And unbiased ring posts... Those ring posts are ****ing anti British. Also if Mayweather had unbiased gloves, didn't you notice Mayweather's gloves ONLY HIT Hatton and not Mayweather, not even once? Those are some anti British gloves right there.

Which fights would have had different results had they been 15 rounds instead of 10 or 12? 3 extra rounds really would have changed the dynamic of many fights.. I think Taylor Pavlik 2 may have ended with Taylor submiting around 14 or 15 to exhaustion and Pavlik's attack. Any other fights that may have ended differently with more rounds?

It's obviously impossible to predict as fighters pace themselves differently if they know the fight is 3 rounds longer.

You can say that Bute paced himself to perfection in the Andrade-fight. For sure he would have conserved some energy if the fight was longer.

Over 15 or 12 rounds, even with the best pacing, fighters frequently run into trouble. DLH could paced himself any which way he wanted but over 15 rounds he only would have lost more rounds to Mayweather had the fight gone an extra 3.

No, I don't think Berto would have KOed Collazo with one more round. Berto would have been exaughisted after rd12. Collazo has a great chin as well.

Margraito UD Williams. (Margarito was coming on strong)

Dude HeLL No!! Margarito lost the 12th round!! whatever momentum he had going into that round he lost because Williams gave him the business in the 12th round.. Old past his prime Hagler would of koed Leonard if it went to 15 rounds

[TheGreatA]

Ali vs Frazier II would've surely been more memorable if it had gone 15 rounds like the other two fights of the trilogy.

Duran would've won a decision over Hagler on the judges' scorecards if the fight had been a 12 rounder.

Margarito vs Williams

Margarito late in the fight was getting to him and even though Williams won the 12th round, I don't think he could've kept it up for three more rounds.

A lot of times guys give a serious last hurrah in the 12th that is no reflection of what would happen in 13,14 and 15. If anything in a longer fight, if the fight doesn't end in stoppage then the 12th and 15th rounds would switch in the way they unfold.

Not to take ANYTHING away from Berto, but
he was exhausted BEFORE round 12.
Don't forget the ref helped him up off his back.
I'm sure Berto could've layed down a bit longer.

But 15 rounds would've been an interesting ending,
cause they both looked drained.


Collazo/Hatton comes to mind.
There might've been a different outcome to that one,
cause it seemed Hatton reached his limit at the end, no?

This might have ended like Gollota Mollo. With 2 guys half asleep laying on eachother counting the seconds down. I'd love to have seen it though.
