    there's been a few fights where the loser is trailing but all of a sudden either knocks down his opponent, or starts coming on strong but then the 12th and final bell rings.....in your opinion, what fights would've ended in the other fighters favor if they would've been 15 rounds......the ones that come to mind off the top of my head are

    BUTE VS ANDRADE (madd props to bute in thE rematch)

    JUANMA VS MTAGWA

    Not sure if this applies but if Chavez-Taylor had been a 15-rounder, there would be no controversy and JCC would get the credit he deserves for turning that fight around.

    Hagler-Leonard also comes to mind - I think Hagler would have sweeped the final 3 rounds and got the victory.

    Fights Today... Abraham Would have KTFO Dirrel had that Fight go only 2 rounds more... in 15 rounds Dirrel would have been put on Morgue. That's for sure

    I was directly thinking about Bute vs Andrade 1 when I read the title, can't think of another right now.
    But I do now one that would have ended exactly the same only without the controverse > JC Chavez vs Taylor 1

    If there's one current fighter who would fare much better fighting 15-rounders, it's Rocky Juarez. He could have beaten MAB in their first fight as well as Chris John.

    They might have fallen to the canvas in a different way.

    as ^^^ have said, bute/andrade I immediately comes to mind and hatton was looking pretty bad against collazo.

    taylor took a huge body shot towards the end of pav/taylor II and was on his way out before the fight ended. kelly said after that shot jermain immediatly grabbed ahold of him and he could hear him gasping. i think that fight wouldnt have made it 15.

    and lets be honest. pavlik/martinez isnt going 15 w/ those cuts.

    i'm not sure abraham/miranda I *should* have been allowed to go 15 w/ abraham swallowing half the blood in his body but i can't say with any certainty they would have stopped it
