Boxing needs old rules back

[FirePunch]

Short and sweet ... Boxing needs 15 rounds again and most importantly IT NEEDS DRAWS BACK !!!!!!!!!!!!!! MEANING OLD SCHOOL RULES IF THE FIGHT GOES TO DECISION ITS AUTOMATICALLY A DRAW THIS WOULD FORCE fighters to fight and really showcase technique and the sweet science in its most brutal sweetest form ................ BRING DRAWS BACK THE ANDRE WARDS AND ANDRE DIRELLS ARE HURTING OUR GREAT SPORT

a draw??? 15 rounds??? are you kidding me??? half the fighters nowadays cant even make 6 rounds and end up gassing out easily....12 rounds is enough and the whole draw thingy is a crock as well if a fighter is winning a fight and dominates every round then he should win if it goes to a decision..

My attention span these days (and I'm sure many others') is way too short for 15-rounders. I find them a drag to watch, having been used to 12 all along.

As for draws, I don't mind them so much. I've scored many fights a draw, with the result being that I thought both boxers did their part to win - but couldn't quite get the nod. It's a good way to showcase a very close and even fight.

15 rounds maybe not but draws IF IT GOES TO DECISION hell yeah ..... If both fighters make it to the final bell call it a draw ..... Thats old school rules bud ....

Who cares many people are exploiting the 12 round system jab , RUN , JAB RUN , JAB, RUN To0 many MEGA FIGHTS ARE NOT LIVING UP TO POTENTIAL DUE TO PEOPLE CARING ABOUT GETTING THE W INSTEAD OF GETTING THE KNOCKOUT ....

Boxing needs DRAWS BACK TO FORCE FIGHTERS TO DO WHAT THEY GET PAID FOR AND THAT IS FIGHT ...............

WAY TOO MANY HUGE FIGHTS ARE SPARRING SESSIONS NOW AT DAYS ...


FIGHT GOES TO DECISION SIMPLE GIVE BOTH FIGHTERS A DRAW

IF BOXING REVERTED THEN I PROMISE YOU MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WOULD BECOME FANS AND THE QUALITY OF FIGHTS WOULD RISE DRASTICALLY

I totally agree 12-15 used to be the championship rds it makes it a lot harder for slow starters to win fights.

What would the Leonards Hearns fights been without those rds.

I guess it must suck being born a century too late. You'd have loved all the ND's from 100 years ago.

It would also force losing fighters to go into survival mode and pull a Clottey. Sorry those rules suck.

Different times. It's not like I'm saying we should revise history and turn all those 15-round fights into 12. I just don't want them back.
