The later rounds of a fight are always boring. Bringing back 15 round fights will basically make us watch more of the boring boxers who cant knock their opponent out. I cant say that I would want to watch more action from any fights that have gone 12 rounds.
Also might make boxers start off slower knowing they will have to last more rounds.
Well what about fights like Hearns Leonard? that went 14 rounds and was an all time classic. If Gatti-Ward fights were title fights they would have been 12 round brawls. I think you are wrong on this front, some all time great fights were decided between the 12-15th rounds and plenty of drama was seen in them rounds!
