    Because I was watching Hearns-Leonard a few months ago it made me wonder about the extra 3 championship rounds. Hearns would have won that fight today.

    It makes me wonder what 12 rounders would have been different with an extra 3 rounds after the end of the fight.

    I say Hagler stops Leonard in the 15th.

    And I say Morales stops Barrera in the 14th in the 3rd fight.

    Disagree. Khan was hurt badly in the 10th, less so in the 11th, and starting to get back into it in the 12th.

    It something that Khan haters want to believe. If anything Maidana was going to get himself DQ'd through desperation.

    But I would say Froch knocks out Ward who was starting to gas and his PEDs was running out.

    It's hard to know because fighters back went through training camps designed for 15 rounds. That definitely influences their strategies and performances in the earlier rounds.

    Thurman was gassing pretty bad and seemed slightly hurt by Guerrero.

    It makes me sad that they took away the 15 rounders. Getting stopped used to be the repercussion of gassing.

    But now with these 12 rounders a lot of guys start to gas around the 10th round and survive for 2 more rounds for the decision.

    Bhop dies vs Kovalev.

    12 rounds is perfectly fine, even 10 rounds, if you can eliminate the time wasted with clinches other nasty tactics which are almost always ignored by the refs.

    Everyone thought Lucas had the better stamina and Prov would start stronger and win the first half, but the opposite happened. Prov was dangerously close in stopping Lucas.

    That's a very, very good one. Matthysse ended up holding and Provodnikov was close to getting some weird second wind. Yeah, I think Provodnikov would've stopped Matthysse had it continued.

    Thats convenient since you picked ruslan to win :rofl

    Matthysse won, period. He probably wouldve conserved energy differently for a 15 rounder.
