    Default I Think Odd Number Like 13 Rounds Would Be Better For Boxing

    When we used to have odd number 15 rounds we used to have alot less draws now im not on about bringing back 15 rounds but if we had something like 13 rounds i think it would stop so many draws what do you guys think ??

    13 just seems so arbitrary. Is 13 really gonna decide the close fights? It might as well be 15, IceCold! Make them work the result at least!

    Yea maybe your right but what im trying to say is i think odd number of rounds like 13 or 15 or whatever would stop alot of these so called *draws* if you know what i mean mate.

    13 is way too unlucky a number for it to be used as the championship number of rounds imo.

    Personally 15 rounds should be brought back asap. Any fool can go 12 rounds, 15 rounds seperates the men from the boys, the real champs from the paper title holders.

    These guys now fight once a year and for 12 rounds? 15 rounds should be mandatory!

    i know what your saying mush and i agree with your point - but considering most fights that end in a draw are dubious and there are a few 10-10 rounds i doubt an extra round would matter to much - 15 rounds should be brought back but i doubt it will happen.

    but didn't they reduce 15 rounds to 12 rounds to avoid fighters from getting seriously damage after a fight? I'd love some fights to go 15 but for the health of the fighters I'm satisfied with 12 rounds.

    you guys now the average joe wouldn't even last 6 rounds of 3minutes right?

    odd numbered rounds would reduce draws...but you can score rounds even so it wouldnt eliminate them.

    I think it would cut down on draws too......I rarely score a round 10-10....
    It feels good to be back home.

    Yea i agree i think it was silly of them to put it as even number 12 now look how many draws we have had recently its just stupid imo.

    Yeah i think 15 rounds makes for better fights too it forces them to dig deeper and as fighters get more and more tired it opens up their defense a little bit which would allow for bigger combos and more KO's imo.

    I'm really not sure if there are more draws now or not. There havn't been may draws at all recently that I can think of, Taylor Wright, Marquez Pacquiao, can't think of any other big fight draws right now.

    Oscar would never make it to the 15th round! You have a point though.
