Frazier has always been dumb; Nothing links boxing to Parkinsons; and Duk Koo Kim fight should have been stopped by ref much sooner.
I liked the 15 round fights...and the only reason it was changed was it ran over into the next TV hour and Sugar Ray Leonard like 12 rounds. He pushed for that...and he was real big back then.
They removed it for a reason.. IMagine what would have happened to Shannon Briggs if that lasted 3 more rounds..
I want the 15 rounders back. People start screaming "more deaths!", "brain damage!", "danger, Will Robinson, danger!", but if the referee does his job there should be no problems. A lot of fights would/should have gone the other way with a 15 rounder in championships and that's what should be concidered. Less robberies also.
15 rounds = tired men eating more punishment than normal which = well im guessin yous can see whats going on with this....12 rounds is fine..
Let me think for a minute and do some math... 12 rounds x 3 minutes = 36 minutes 12 rounds x 1 minute break = 12 minutes. Total == 48 minutes, leaving you 12 minutes for commercials/promotions (which helps pay for the event) in an hour time slot. I know it sucks, but it is what it is.
