Boxing needs a 13th round...

I was thinking the same thing after the Perez vs. Mares fight. A 13th round would be awesome, because both fighters know they have the same score, and it would make them both go all out on that 13th round!

 

Bring back the 70+ round days I say, and get rid of them pesky boxing gloves as well why we're at it!

 

The 13th Round is a restaurant in Youngstown owned by Kelly Pavlik:yep

 

An extra round like in K1.

 

Hmm, kinda like they do in the UFC? I'm not opposed to the concept at all.

 

Better yet just make it 11.

 

Boxing needs instant replay first.

 

it wudnt stop draws completely tho will it i mean 10-10 rounds rounds with knockdowns and that it cud still end as a draw with a 13th

 

13th Round; That sounds very unlucky. 12 rounds is fine, but the problem is the judges, as they are all over the place. All three judges saw a different fight, and had a different score.

 

Judges should be held acountable. Any judge who comes up with a score card that is at significant variance with the other judges should be required to explain and justify his score card before the appropriate state athletic commission. That commission should have the authority to fine a judge, suspend a judge, or even ban a judge for life. Accountability would do far more for the sport than tinkering with extra rounds.

 

:deal This.

 

no, thats about as ***** as a three dollar bill. 13th or 15th rounds sounds better...:deal

 

I want 15 rounds back, but wanting an odd number of rounds to aviod draws won't work. Ststically it may slightly lower the odds of draws, but you'd still have draws. All it would take is a 1 point deduction, knockdown, even round, or any combination of the three. You seldom see all three judges having it 114-114 anyways.

I also agree with the poster above about judges being held accountable. A prime example should be the DLH/Trinidad judge who gave the last round to DLH dispite DLH not throwing.
