Yeah, I use to want them to comeback also, but not anymore. It would only cause more injuries. Most of the fighters now are dead when the 12th hits, so no way they can go 3 more and if they did, then they wouldnt be able to defend themselves.

Also you would have major injuries. Could Taylor's eye go 3 more rounds?

im sure there were draws in the times of 15 round fights, and im sure they didnt push the rounds up to 17 or 18.

well then how about just for rematchs, anytime a rematch occurs they then go 15 round in their second fight lots of fight would be won or lost soley on conditioning

it won't happen because of tv. that's the whole reason why it was done in the first place - 'injuries' was used as a coverup.

I believe that you are mistaken on that one.

Would have been a technical decision anyways. The intensified swelling was caused by a headbutt.
