What ever happened to 15 round title fights?

[El Kabong]

.....fighters are in sad enough shape as it is

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

.....fighters are in sad enough shape as it is

No truer words have ever been spoken... YOU HEAR ME HOLYFIELD... YOU HEAR ME HEARNS!!!!!!!!!!!
STOP FIGHTING... YOU HAVE NOTHING TO PROVE!!!!

Who says they have anything to prove, it's what they believe they can still do. Just like any other fighter, it's what they've done all their lives and it's what they love to do. If their physically able let them fight without someone telling them they dont have anything to prove, their not telling you to get off of your ass and stop jerking off in front of the computer do they. Yes they lisp when they talk but jerking off makes you go blind, if you don't believe me ask your momma. Pretty soon you'll need brail for your keyboard, to bad you won't be able read the responses though.

I just love the way people act like their concerned with a fighters well being and health and yet sit in front of a tv hoping for blood and a brutal knockout, and a fighter with a defense first strategy gets ripped all the time like Winky or Floyd, I've said it before and I'll say it again, I don't care if their 60 yrs old, if their capable and want to fight then let em fight. So for you and Lyle who says their in sad shape now, I would bet your like the rest of us, otherwise you wouldn't be on a boxing forum. Both of you guys would be on a medical forum or an abolish boxing forum so you can protect these guys from themselves.

And Pride don't take the shit above personal either, not unless your really going blind. Just f**cking around

[El Kabong]

....yes but this is a professional sport Chief....it doesn't matter if you're fighting for 2 dollars or 2 million dollars you can't spend it if you get hurt and there are guys out there that are more likely to get hurt than others.

You go look after Gerald McClellan if you're so into the blood and guts of it.

The human brain is a resiliant thing but there is a point of no return


As for "sad shape" I meant they don't get in good enough shape to fight 10-12 rounds much less 15

You don't put in the whole url just the part after the equal sign

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

huh, it was 15 my bad

[ElTerribleMorales]

the WBC was the first organization to shorten title fights to 12 rnds after the Mancini/Kim fight

[tedsares]

Stopped after Mancini-Kim when studies showed tha fighters were m0re vulnearble after 12.

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

They are more vulnerable after 6... But whatever

[Jody Lane]

boxrec.com says it was a 12 round fight:

Good to know someone can still look up the fact Tyson never fought a title fight scheduled for 15 rounds.

[Jody Lane]

That was scheduled for 12 stavros

NO IT WAS SCHEDULED FOR 15 ,I DONT KNOW HOW TO POST THE FIGHT ON HERE BUT GO AND WATCH IT ....MICHAEL BUFFER SAYS..(LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE 15 ROUNDS FOR THE UNDISPUTED HEAVEY WEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE WORLD)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!GO AND WATCH IT AND THEN U CAN LICK MY HAIRY BALLS AND EAT S***

Sorry buddy but you are wrong.

[Punisher136]

Any chance they'll bring the 15 rounders back?

No... There were to many injuries... I hear ya, though... 12-15 were the real championship rounds

yeah all these 12 rounds don't have the feel of the old fights

They are more vulnerable after 6... But whatever

Ummm did anyone ever realize that getting punched in the face for maybe even 1 round might cause injuries? I'm pretty sure a case can be made to bring the 15 rounders back. All you have to do is sneak in the words "you'll make more money this way" and they'll bring it back faster than Tua showed the world the real john "the quiet man" ruiz.

[CutMeMick]

Sadly toooooooooo many deaths....

[Punisher136]

Sadly toooooooooo many deaths....

Its the referee's job to stop a fight when it looks like its getting out of hand and again Some people drop dead during amateur fights and some retire after long pro careers without any long term injuries you can't know how each fighter is gonna react to the longer fights.
