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 :)

There is- I remember seeing one on YouTube- the boxer was a giant compared to his opponent- can’t for the life of me remember who they were- it was a brutal fight-

I liked the 15 rounds0- but yes- I agree- it was too much for boxers- lots of boxers got ‘punch drunk’ and suffered because of it- I think 12 is about right- in terms of beign safer-

I was fortunate- I grew up when the greats were fighting- mohammad- frazier, leanard, foreman, boom boom mancini- and many many other great fighters etc- would wait anxiously for forever it seemed for the fights to come on in one of the 4 channels we got lol- and it was quite an event watching- loved listenign to howard cossell too- many fond memories-
