I always cringe a little when the announcers go on about entering the championship rounds. Fighters are lazier now and can become millionaires by doing very little. Many are gassed by the sixth round. They can stay clear of risk and still be champion. Povetkin just offered Wilder 10 million dollars and he turned it down. Only in 2015 does shit like this play out and paperweights like him call themselves "world champions". Another byproduct of all these damn belts.

15 round title fights would improve the quality of the sport from fighter to viewer. I also think it would eliminate many draws, thefts and overall bullshit calls. I've actually watched more 12 round title fights then 15 and yet still lament 15. My first fight was Chuvalo/Clay in 66 and the last 15 I watched was Tyson/Briggs in 87.
