    I just can't agree. I'd rather see a reasonably paced fight for 12 Rds instead of a 15 rounder with well paced rounds interspersed with hugging, holding, and energy saving rounds.
    Do you remember comments like this, 'the fight has slowed considerably, they're conserving energy for the championship rounds.'? Even if you don't, I do!! How about setting in a bar and hearing this from another table, 'They better slow down or they'll never make 15.' Hell, the slowdown was expected, I don't ever want to go back to that BS.
    Do we expect fighters to tire and slow down during 12 rounders? Are we surprised when fighters take a round of during a 12 rounder? When you tack on another three (fucking championship rounds) things get worse! IMO, lol
    Tell Hagler, Leonard, Marciano or Holmes that. They ate their opposition in those crucial rounds.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Good for them. There were guys who also ate their opponents alive in the 30th round, when it was last man standing rules.

    If you can't get your shit done in 36 minutes of fighting, you stink.

    Tell that to Leonard who needed to stop Hearns or Rocky against Walcott or ........

    NO NEED TO DEBATE 15 ROUND FIGHTS ANYMORE? -

    Not sure if this was brought up on this thread: Why 15 rounds were "officially" ended. I was reading a Ring magazine from the 90's & it brought up Jose S. So I googled it and it seems locked.
    Based on what is stated: ending 15 rounds had nothing to do with the health of the fighters: it was totally political.

    Tv time lines with a dash of politics which is also redundant if you think about it lol
