I thought they may have thought it out and made them 13 rounders to avoid any draws.
I do not know if you remember, but the 'USBA' tried that in the late 80s:
Fight:43307 - BoxRec
Wonder why they barred the idea?
The problem is the fighters finish and then wait maybe five minutes for a decision, and then mentally as well as physically have to get ready to fight another three minutes knowing they have to win the round...
Although good on paper, I can understand why it was just not practical in the end.
