For the sake of safety, I would endorse this idea for fights that require a 'tie-breaking' round. If 12 calls it, no need to go the distance. Even if safety wasn't an issue, those extra 9 minutes of fighting will result in an increased time necessary for rest between fights meaning less fights in a given amount of time. Unless you're an early KO artist, 1 fight a year is what can be expected for fighters going past 12 rounds. This also opens the door for fighters to 'bore' it up in the first half knowing they have a few more rounds to try and land that miracle combination. Less pressure on the fighters to perform. As far as the draws, it should be the fighter's job to ensure that contoversy does not rear its ugly head.
Shouldn't it then also be the fighters job to stay busy during the course of the fight wether its 15 rounds or 3?
