15 rounds to 12 rounds

[Vasyl’s dad]

You're a complete dumbass, only numbers that are screwed are yours. Your argument is that rounds 4 has more deaths than round 12 therefore it is more dangerous.

Everyone in this thread is wrong and your right

No, thats not my argument and never has been. You're too ****** to realize that though.

Those aren't my numbers either, they're compiled by the Journal of Combative Sports.


You simply can't state why 15 round fights are any more dangerous than the 12 rounders because "its just common sense that 12 rounds are safer",

even when the data doesn't support that.

[Aussie!]

Yea, thanks captain obvious.

I was clearly asking for data to support the claims that fights being 9 minutes less are any safer and all you could say was 9 minutes less is safer because they're not in the ring.
Some actual data would help instead of just relying on "common sense".

is not being in the ring at all safer than being in the ring for just 3 rds?

just curious.

We should just abolish boxing altogether don't you think?

We should just abolish boxing altogether don't you think?

We should abolish cars dont you think?

We should abolish cars dont you think?

Guns and sex too.


Just put everyone in little boxes so nobody hurts anyone.

to guarantee safety, i say yes.

or make them wear very thick headgear.


listen, i understand where your argument is coming from.

but it's hard to argue being safer or at least as safe when 1 guy is being exposed to more punishment even for a rd.

it just seems logical to think that...

more time in the ring = more chances of getting hurt.

i don't have to come up with charts or any research to get to that conclusion on my own.

you might disagree with it but it doesn't mean that 1 of us is dumber than the other.

Oh people would manage to hurt themselves against the boxes.

Youd have to sedate them.

Its obvious the changing from 15 to 12 hasn't changed anything. If they where truly concerned with the fighters safety they would add more padding to the gloves. With the comissions in control of the taping and the wrapping of each and every fighter.
