Bring back 15 round world title bouts

[MistaDibbs]

I'd support 13 round title fights its just one more round. But a lot of supersticious (F*** that word it is too hard to spell) people would object.

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?

Anybody that knows boxing knows the boxers. Neither the boring ones (making boring fights) nor the exciting ones (where anything can happen) really need to be put in the ring for longer than necessary. Who wants to watch a boring fight, much less expect an exciting fight to go the distance? There have been more TITLE fights that I wish would have been stopped at the 7th round than those that went the distance. For every match you'd want to see 15 rounds of, there are others that should have ended early.
