15 rounds, Don King started the 12 rounds because he had some of his fighters who ran out of gas a lot, also the time slot for TV, they didn't care about the boxer's safety.................neutral judges, X boxers with no agenda, an international boxing commission to keep corruption away, making sure you do not have crooks like Byrd and Bob Bennett in boxing...............bad decisions should be investigated and the crooks should be punished, banned and serve time in prison...............
