Damn. They should negotiate for 10 and a HALF round. Personally, I think boxing should go back to 15 rds. A few of these guys won't be champion if we go back to 15 rds.

part of me think 15 rounds would be great and I wish for CERTAIN fights it would be available, but the other part realizes 15 rounds could be terrible. Imagine 15 rounds of Cory Spinks vs Jermain Taylor. Or countless others.

But I like the odd number of rounds. 11, 13, or 15. This way it decreases the chance of a draw.

I'm a supporter of the 13th round rule, if its a draw after 12, they fight one more round. Great rule.

13 would be ok with me but 12 seems a bit short. I still prefer 15 rd especially for lineal/unification fight.

Why wait? how about mandatory 13th rd but make it 4 minutes in the final rd. More exciting.

Whats this, how is it possible? Its one of Hugo Cazares' fights, it was 11 rounds, not 12!http://boxrec.com/media/index.php?title=Fight:1379872

I've been to the local Roberto Duran Arena in Panama City, and when I get a programme, I see that normally 6 rd fights have 7 rds on the programme, 8 rd have 9, 10 rds have 11.

I haven't able to find anyone who could explain this to me ......in English.
