    I have watched some great fifteen round fights and watched some dull ones that made me wonder how I woke up finding myself soaked in beer and covered with chips. The good news is that there were not so many draws and back then, twelve round fights were elimination matches preparing a fighter for a beating or telling us that maybe we shouldn't buy so many sleeping pills if certain fighters got together. The other advantage is you have to train. There was no excuse for not being in shape but then again you may suffer more damage or boredom with three extra rounds as a fan. The WBC claimed after Mancini-Kim there was more damage as the fight went on after twelve and doctors were up in arms and now we have mixed martial atrs and there are no ten oiunce gloves or eight ounce gloves to contend with and you have more concussive power in your punches. Oh yes you can hit a man when he is down and they want to ban boxing? Get a friggin life assholes. I wonder just how long a prime is attained and lasts in that sport. Don't get me wrong, I watch those too occasionally but I love boxing and I can't watch enough of it. There used to be 40-50 rounds but some people had to go home to dinner.
