    I voted yes.

    In MAJOR title fights (maybe have the state commission determine what's major or not) then I agree with 15 rounds.

    Yes, but only for World Championship fights; which means multiple (major alphabet crap) fights.

    But I doubt it will ever happen, indeed sooner or later, the longest bouts will be 10 rounders IMO.

    Agree with the both of you 100%. We would have much clearer views in all of Taylor's last 3 fights, Barrera Morales, ODLH Trinidad to name a few. There would be less controversies I believe as its easier to swing a fight one way with bad judgin with less rounds.

    That would just make boxing a complete joke.

    Eh...I honestly don't see that happening. I would see a return of the 15 rounders before 10 rounders.

    I hope you are right, but I doubt it.

    You cannot fit a 15 rounder into a TV hour...

    You can a 12 round, and even easier a 10 rounder. Plus if you bring in 10 round World Title fights, you can spin it, by say you are making the sport safer.

    Like I stated, I think it is only a matter of time, before the 12 round title fight will be no more. No one thought the 15 rounder would go in the late 70s, then came Mancini/Kim....

    The WBC and the BBB of C, began 12 round title fights, and the EBU, WBA and IBF eventually followed suit.

    I'd at least like to see 13 or 11 rounds just so there is less chance of a draw

    Having 15 round fights again is a horrible idea. Aside from the fact that there is a larger chance of brain damage through longer periods of fighting, the fights slow down dramatically in those late rounds. What I mean is that they become boring. It becomes less of a boxing match and more of a marathon. Why is that a good thing?

    Agreed, having an even number of rounds leaves too much chance of a draw occuring, which is just an anti climax for everybody!!

    For safety they should bring back same day weighins. Thats the problem at the moment fighters weighing in the day before, dehydrating dangerously to make false weights. Most not being able to hydrate properly, extreme dehydration and it takes the body 4 days to properly hydrate its dangerous in the extreme. The governing bodies should act.

    This was actually more dangerous because fighters were so dehydrated so close to the fight.

    how about 13. it's an extra 3 minutes of fighting but 6 minutes less dangerous than 15, and it's an odd number.
