    I'm torn about it. Sure it makes for better fights, but is it worth the occasional guy getting beaten to death?

    Depends, I guess. Qawi got hurt in their second fight, but sustained constant love taps in the first one. Holy on the other hand did lose a lot of weight.

    With today's fighters so unwilling to trade, I doubt 15 rounds today would do anything other than show how poorly prepared they are to even go 12 rounds.
