Should boxing implement a 13th round if and only if after 12 rounds fight is a draw?

    i wouldn't suggest anything past 13 because we've already toned it down from 15.

    11 or 13 make sense because they would bring a drop in fights that end in a draw hence the odd numbered rounds.
    simply put, draws are a part of boxing and have been since it's conception. Deal with that fact or watch baseball, you'll have a victor every time out.

    Sin city said it up there, even with 11,13,15 or whatever amount of rounds draws will still be possible.

            I've always pondered this scenario and yea ... I'm all for it. I think it should be open scoring all throughout scoreboard posted in real time above the fighters heads so if the fix is in the judges can be ridiculed as it's happening to curb their BS ...,And yea. If it's a draw they go 13. I think it's the obvious solution.

            Also the sport was 15 rounds for so long ... Odd number = less draws. Why would they have went from 15 to 12 instead of 13 in the first place ... Just ****** to begin with.

                We all know draws will be possible no matter what but from an entertainment standpoint can you imagine what it'd be like in a big fight, everything on the line and the fighters knowing its a draw and you've got 1 round... 1 shot to put it all on the line and walk away with the win...

                It would be high drama ... Probably the most dramatic "sudden death" you could see in sports.
