Is this a UK thang on BoxRec?

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.
