Should championship fights go back to 15 rounds?

[Batman]

I would go for it, I can't remember the days of 15 round fights, it would certainly make some fights a little more interesting.

for example, the Eubank JR v Billy Joe Saunders fight, how would that have gone if it was another 3 rounds? would BJS have let Eubank Jr into the fight after 6 rounds? would we have seen a knock out between the 13th/15th round because both of them were dog tired.

but at the same time they both fought a good hard fight and it was close as fuck at the end, if it went 15 rounds and one of them had a KO against them it could be seen as being a little unfair

I've always said they need to bring 15 rounds back. There really is no reason we shouldn't have them. I would however, limit them to legit titles and not every strap that someone holds because there are definitely worthless fights I don't want to see go the extra 3 rounds.

Those 3 extra rounds help the champion and why they are called the champions rounds. You beat the champion you earned it.

I have always been a fan of the 15 rounders in the past.

But it is not going to happen, so the fight is to keep 12 rounders for as long as possible.

Good idea for Green Card Lottery in Schengen Zone:

NO.

There's not much chance of 12 round fights being reduced at this current time because we now have far bigger boxing cards on far more TV channels. In Britain, long gone are the days of showing just the main event, the promoters/TV get slaughtered well in advance as we know everything that is planned.

I thought they may have thought it out and made them 13 rounders to avoid any draws.

I do not know if you remember, but the 'USBA' tried that in the late 80s:

Wonder why they barred the idea?

So now they should go hard or go home.
