there's nothing wrong with an honest 15 rounds

Of course not when we're watching from the comfort of our homes.

With boxers getting fukked up at the rate they have lately why on earth would you want that? So we can all be in the boxing thread :mjcry: when somebody post some shyt.

You know damn well that won't ever happen. Boxing doesn't want the potential of having any more Duk Koo Kims

but there have been ppl that still have died from boxing injuries afterwards the change from 15 to 12...it wasn't like it was happening frequently prior to that bout..mancini-kim was just scapegoated

That's 3 less rounds of punches for both guys, I don't have a problem with 12.

nikkas are just being blood thirsty now wanting to bring 15 rds back. It's not happening no commission would okay that.

Most of these nikkas ain't trained to go 15 rounds. Alot of these cats can barely go a full 12 without gassing. And you want them to go an extra 3 :what:

You're asking for trouble. Lotta dudes would get seriously hurt


13 rounds should be implemented:manny:

It's going to be hard to implement anything in boxing due to so many commissions I mean these dudes cant even agree on which hand wrap style is okay :heh:



the aftermath is ridiculous...we have ali who was effectively knocked out of his prime physically and we have joe frazier who was completely finished on every level...frazier already went into that fight with physical issues and was already declining

Them fighting in a tin can I'm sure didn't help the situation :francis:

Behind You
Futch was true to his word when he told Frazier that “No one will forget what you did here today,” and the latest manifestation of that regard occurred Sept. 12, 2015 in his adopted hometown of Philadelphia when a 12-foot bronze statue in his likeness was unveiled.

Its a shame Joe wasn't around to see that statue get unveiled. I really don't think he ever truly believed that he was as respected as he actually was.
