Is this a UK thang on BoxRec?

Are you serious it means 12 rounds of 3 minutes.

Why the phuk do they have to put 3 minutes on there for? All bouts are 3 minutes long, whats next? x3 x1? 1 would stand for the 1 minute in between rounds. This is only on the UK fighters though. I guess they think we Americans are smarter or something and we know this already? If I am not mistaken, we were unable to adapt to the metric system so I don't think we are smarter and I guess I failed this test. Thanks for clearing that up. I guess now it makes sense I would much rather know something like size of the ring or something useful along those lines, I don't need to be told these are three minute rounds, you know what I mean?

It's because of 2 minute rounds.

6 x 2 is popular

Noticed that the other day on old geezer Al Cole "upset" comeback fight. Why the distinction though ? Only really have seen 2 min rounds in Womens boxing or just never realized it was common ??

Nope, it is not just the women using the 2 minute rounds. A lot of Debut fighters are using it. Helps to cut down on injuries. Due to changes in the rules on a global scale, more and more commissions are adopting it for their debut fighters, along with limiting rounds being fought

Really ?? Learn something new every day.Can not say I agree with it.Fighters are not toddlers,Commisions should look internally to start a clean up Imo.
