    Yes. Fighters are weighing-in the day before to rehydrate themselves and the safety measures are stronger and stricter than they were 25 years ago.

    12 rounds is enough.

    It'd benefit Andrade a great deal if they did.

    For me though, 12's enough.

    Only fighters who are use to 12 rounds just now would find it difficult. The next generation would cope with them better if they were brought back. It's all to do with being in a comfort zone and to do with change.

    12 hasn't been enough to seperate the current pound for pound #1 and #2 properly and they've fought twice.

    Maybe 15 rounds twice would have provided a clear winner.

    Huh? Why would anyone think that. It's for the good of the game. More rounds, equate to more action. Thats just being biased if someone was to vote "no" regarding their favourite fighters. As I said, young amateurs at present would adapt to the change better when they turn professional than current pro's who are champions or any fighter who has fought for a world title. Assuming the change was very soon.

    It would be 15 rounds for championship fights and 12 rounds for non-title bouts.

    no. even if we had 20 it wouldn't matter in close fights because alot of rounds might be scored even. 12 is great for me.
