If we keep going the way we are going helmet wearing toddlers today in the sandbox will be watching 6 round title fights with one pound gloves. You do know that the only reason they switched to 12 is because it fit perfectly to the one hour format on television and had nothing to do with safety right?
They claimed safety but it was a crock. Had they been truthful and said it was based on economics there may have been a revolt.

You could be right about the fight.

But in terms of 15 rounders... who needs them? Who cares what the reason they switched over for was. It doesn't take a scientist, a doctor, or Bo Jackson to know that getting punched in the head = bad, but getting punched in the head when you are tired and dehydrated = worse, which is what happens in those late rounds.

Fighting 12 rounds is hard enough on a boxer's body and brain, 15 is too much to ask IMO.

BTW I find it funny (and this isn't at you personally just in general) that boxers are goaded on to fight 15 rounds instead of 12 like they're wimps, by guys who (in general) probably wouldn't be able to run a mile without having a heart attack or stroke. Just saying.
