    I'd like to see a return to 15 rounders in the heavies only. They don't typically dehydrate to make weight. As horrible as it was, I've always felt that boxing used the Mancini / Kim thing to cut the rounds to facilitate 1 hour televised time slots, but the dehydration argument does give me pause. After watching boxing for about 45 years I have a hard time believing decisions in the sport are made on behalf of the boxers safety.

    Usyk stopped his first 9 opponents before challenging for the world title in his 10th fight and he was quite vicious back then

    Gassiev has never been hurt, let alone dropped or stopped

    Ditto for Gassiev

    Ditto for Michael ''The Bounty'' Hunter

    Glowacki had never been stopped

    Usyk had no intention of trying to stop Gassiev and Glowacki

    But Huck, however, he wanted to punish and hurt for his disrespect and we saw a very sadistic Usyk that night

    I was thinking about this the other day actually, how 15 rounds would suit Fury better than 12.
