I just can't agree. I'd rather see a reasonably paced fight for 12 Rds instead of a 15 rounder with well paced rounds interspersed with hugging, holding, and energy saving rounds.
Do you remember comments like this, 'the fight has slowed considerably, they're conserving energy for the championship rounds.'? Even if you don't, I do!! How about setting in a bar and hearing this from another table, 'They better slow down or they'll never make 15.' Hell, the slowdown was expected, I don't ever want to go back to that BS.
Do we expect fighters to tire and slow down during 12 rounders? Are we surprised when fighters take a round of during a 12 rounder? When you tack on another three (fucking championship rounds) things get worse! IMO, lol
Tell Hagler, Leonard, Marciano or Holmes that. They ate their opposition in those crucial rounds.
