[[(everyone here knows it used to go 15)]]
Back in the day- they would go till someone couldn’t continue any longer- some matches were well over 50 rounds, bare-fisted no less-
Funny water comment :)
And I believe the never ending bout story.
I WISH there was an early bare knuckle fight video but the best I’ve found is pictures.
I am in favor of 12 rounds. It’s bad enough the effect it has on the head.
And even if it takes THREE rounds to figure out your opponent and another TWO to adjust, there’s still 7 more rounds to do your thing.
15 is kind of overkill, pun intended :)
