Twelve Rounds vs Fifteen Rounds

Mendoza · Jun 19, 2017

I'd be okay with 15, but only if each man has already gone 12 and the ref or the doctor are liberal in terms of stopping the fight if a man is taking a beating and way behind on the cards.

15 rounds for title unification matches make sense to me.

I would also be okay with 13 rounds.

I've always hated the change from 15 to 12 rounds.
1) fighters pace themselves different in a 12 round title fight.
2) You may have examples for me but how major damage/deaths of a fighter can truly be attributed to the extra three rounds?
3) They used to call rounds 13-15 the "championship rounds"! Not anymore....
I always liked the format in the old days:
10 rounds if the fighters were moving close to contender status.
12 rounds if you've got two top contenders in an eliminator to a title shot.
15 rounds for all the marbles!
