what do you think of longer rounds for boxing?
4 minutes each or even 5 MMA style.

I'd be cool if boxing stole a bunch of sh^t that worked better from MMA like MMA stole the sh^t that worked from boxing years ago & bet against the stuff that doesn't work so well.
-longer rounds
-less rounds
-lighter gloves
-win bonuses
-fight of the night bonuses
-less weight divisions
-scoring aggression (f#ck that subjective term effective aggression) & shots landed over defense & ring generalship
I'd also like to see less holding, clinching & that bs that is stuff in MMA, but boxing SHOULD'NT allow.
Those are just off the top of my head all of those things would make boxing more fun & fan friendly & I'm sure I could mention several more if I thought about it more.
There was a huge benefit by the UFC in having the ability to learn from what works & doesn't work in boxing that I think people don't fully appreciate or maybe even realize. -
I think 3 minutes is perfect. Up the number of rounds back up to 15 would be good though.Comment

No need.... 3 mins & 12rds is working fine.Comment

The way fighters been getting brain injuries lately, you want longer fights and more rounds? If anything, limit the damage a fighter takes in the ring. Or limit the head damage anyway. Not sure how but they can figure it out. 12 rounds was created literally because of a death in the ringComment

No need for four minute rounds. Maybe go back to 15 round title fights and same day weigh-ins.Comment

Four minutes per round.
Ten rounds per fight max. No more no less.
1 min 15 sec in between rounds.
That would be fair.Comment

3 is fine, rather the better fighter win, not just the one who is better conditioned.Comment

I don't want boxing to be an endurance contest. There's a good balance in the 12x3 we have now.Comment
