Does anyone Prefer 15 rounds to 12 rounds

[Eusebio]

I prefer the No Decision era. Can't earn a win without finishing off your opponent. If you can't you get a ND. Of course I would never personally fight with these rules, only watch.

Nope, it should stay at 12 rounds IMO. There is only so much punishment the body can take. I think the health and safety of all athletes in any sport must be a primary concern.

In boxing, we are not talking about broken arms n legs, this is severe head injuries and brain damage. Ali, Z Gorres and Gerald Mcclellan come to mind when I think about the dangers of this sport I love so much.

As someone that has actually stepped in a ring and fought, I feel 15 rounders should be left in the past where they belong.

15 rounds is perfect.............

Guys like Floyd and Williams would have more KOs.

Yes the hell it should have changed. Watching them old ass fights for 15 rounds was horrible. If you cant do what you gotta to do in the 12 rounds, oh well

Chris John wouldn't have a title right now if fights lasted 15 rounds.

Honestly I'm torn on this because yeah the fights would be longer, and you would have and odd number, resulting in less draws. At the same time though, a lot of those older fights were full of guys fighting at a slow pace, dragging fights out (atleast that is how I saw it).

I think longer fights would result in more rounds being taken off, more hugging and tying up, and less exchanges. I'm trying hard not to picture it being that way, but with this generation of boxers, that's exactly how I see it playing out..lol

Less rounds = more action and a faster pace.

Yes!, this right here

great stuff

I do. Round 13-15 is a game tester. Many fighters that would win decisions in 12 rounds would wither and lose in 15. The reason they took away the 15 rounders is because fighters have died during those rounds.
