Should unification title bouts be 15 rounds?

[Dark Lord Al]

Ask Duk Koo Kim or Benny Paret.

That is urban legend my friend. Not that they died but that 15 round title fights cause more deaths.
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
