    Don't you guys think that 15 is way too much? Outcomes depend way to heavily on stamina and conditioning..

    Why have problems with draws?
    If fighters are aprox equal why not have such decisions

    They should fight until someone gets knocked out or quits!

    Yes 15 is too much. It will make fights boring because fighters will tend to try to minimize on power early on to save for the extra round just like the old days. 12 is just fine but . . . we are getting too many draws so 13 will be the best.

    well...i can fell that.

    But IMO still better than to have a guy loosing who was as equal as the other guy, especially if the guy who would loose would be 'your' guy

    I went with 10 rounds.
    It would give more intensity to the fights...while still not being to short

    15 rounds is great. Maybe its is too much to ask of the ordinary fighters, but boxing can give the fans 15 rounds on its title unification matches.

    Some fighters are notorious slow starters that would give them no chance.
