Re: Should unification title bouts be 15 rounds?
That is urban legend my friend. Not that they died but that 15 round title fights cause more deaths.Originally Posted by Vendettos
The main reason they moved to 12 from 15 is because the time fit better for 1 hour television slots.
The change was made over marketing

Why thank-you kind sir but I cant take credit for it. Its part of a pretty exhaustive study going back to the early 1700's and originally compiled by Manuel Velazquez and passed on to Joseph R. Svinth. It just so happens that this topic has been a wee thorn in my side for over 30 years lol.

Re: Should unification title bouts be 15 rounds?
I still think some promoter will decide to spin a fight as a 15 rounder, perhaps as a rematch after a 12 round draw. It could work...
Long term though, history suggests we will be, bemoaning the loss of the 12 rounder.

Great post. I missed this bud. I could see this happening about 7 years ago when I started seeing helmets in the sand box.
