    My man Golovkin would have probably done better.

    Well I'll add Bradley vs Provodnikov to the list then for sure.

    No way Bradley would've gone 15 rounds he was done in the 12th round.

    Agree with it suiting Golokvin.
    What about someone like Henry Wharton? Came on pretty strong against Benn in the later rounds

    You should watch it.

    It's one of the better fights of the modern era I think it won FOTY aswell.

    Beterbiev-Bivol 1 would likely resulted in a stoppage win for Beterbiev. His style seems suited for 15 rounders.

    No controversy with Chavez vs Taylor # 1.

    If that was a 15 round fight, Steele's stoppage would have been indisputable. A 13th round would have seen the death of Taylor.

    Bute wouldn't have survived Andrade.

    Exactly my point.
    Knowing there's another 3 rds to go, no one in their right minds would've allowed Taylor off his stool at the end of that 12 th rd.
    No controversy......
