who did they ever beat ?

But this was the situation in the big majority of cases in the prehistory of boxing you are so keen on.

Of course it has , since before the human race existed.

My point is that most of those fights are closer to toughman contests and bareknuckle boxing with their lighter gloves , different rules and quality of fighters (there were a few exceptions).
And the more than 12 rounds actually make it worse .
Want stamina to play a bigger role ?
make a 1 round last man standing.
Don't expect a fighter to shine a lot when he knows he has 15 *3 minutes rounds before him.
want excitement ? make a first knockdown contest - faller loser.

 

Yes. But there were no judge , ring , octagon , canvas , gloves or whatsoever.

 

A combination of fartic and partial

 

Something like a creampie but in a gas state
