12 round title fights that would have ended differently over 15.

[MrSmall]

Inspired by the other thread.

First comes to mind is Hearns-Leonard 1.
Hopkins-Taylor.


How would Thrilla in Manilla have been scored over the first 12?
A number of old Ali fights come to mind.

[Stinky gloves]

That would favour Hatton over Floyd

[Jorodz]

hagler-leonard is the first one i would think of to.

[BIGTIMETIMMY]

hopkins over taylor if they were 15 rounds

[ThePlugInBabies]

eubank would probably have ko'd calzaghe if he got another round, calzaghe looked in trouble in the 12th.

[*BOX_FAN*]

Mormeck vs Bell II

[Heavyrighthand]

Mesi Jirov comes to mind.

[box03]

Mesi Jirov comes to mind. agreed, I think I got that one on tape didnt Jirov knock Mesi down in the 10th round?

[elTerrible]

That would favour Hatton over Floyd

not really, when has PBF ever shown problems with fatigue. Hatton is the one who has gotten tired.

[boxfan99]

Beyer vs Green II.

[jopez707]

Hatton-Collazo

[toffeejack]

Mayweather v Castillo first fight

[brooklyn1550]

Trinidad-hopkins

Tito Would've Came On Strong In The 13th Round And Tko'd Hopkins.

:good

[aillmatic]

Trinidad-hopkins

Tito Would've Came On Strong In The 13th Round And Tko'd Hopkins.
:rofl. riiiiight.

[tampa]

DELA HOYA VS TITO would of ended in a ko for trinidad.

[Cruiser1]

Somebody already mentioned it but Bell/Mormeck II is a great example. Bell would still be champ cuz Mormeck was gassed midway through the fight and went on his bike after the cards were read following round 8.

and in another cruiserweight fight...

Cantatore came back against Johnny Nelson in the Entertainer's last fight winning the last 4 rounds including a knockdown. An extra 3 rounds would have probably resulted in a new champion.

[ripcity]

This is all sepculation and revisionist history.

[ThePlugInBabies]

This is all sepculation and revisionist history.

no shit sherlock. :roll:

[Carlos J]

OT but Hey! Are you Uncle from TF? If so hi, if not ignore this shit.

No PMs till 50 posts, what bollocks.:roll:

[ThePlugInBabies]

hey carlos!!! indeed it is uto from tf. i thought i told you that over there, maybe not. meh, just post abusive spam in the lounge, no one will taken any notice, then you can pm like nobodys business.

tf has gone stale, too much dr m arse kissing, and turds like steveo, probably will avoid it from now on.

[nervousxtian]

Mesi Jirov comes to mind.

Hey moron, that was a 10rd fight. Pay attention and read the thread before you post.

[Carlos J]

OT, sorry other guys. You never told me the ID, M has fucked off in a hissyfit. :lol: Come back around the fights though. It's down now anyway.

The fucking threads here about the pressers for Hatton v PBF, what a pile of shit, that's where I clicked it was you. Lounge, yeah maybe, see ya. :good

[brooklyn1550]

It's possible that if Pacquiao-Marquez went 15, Marquez could have got the decision

It's fun to think about how different boxing would be and how history would have played out had championship fights remained at 15 rounds.

[Carlos J]

Hatton-Collazo
Better post something relevant but that's the first that came to mind, Hatton would have gone.

[ThePlugInBabies]

yeah i'll come and post around major fight time with you and notb. although i'm going to super joe - kessler and there's too much emotion tied up in that fight so i'll either be crying into my post or weeping with joy a few days later.

indeed, i saw m saunter off into the dim sunset (again) and dougal throw another hissy fit then not actually leave.

sorry other esb posters for ot crap, see ya round carlos.

[the_what]

Hopkins would have TKOd Taylor

Tito would have decapitated DLH

[bachatu]

Julio Cesar Chavez vs Meldrick Taylor - I think the bout would'nt have been stopped at the end of the 12th round the way it was and Taylor would have gotten finished off more difinitively in the 13th and possibly damaged even more than he is now.

Collazo vs Hatton - Ricky would have been ko'd between 13th-15th rnds. Collazo just had his number all night long.

[Fighting Weight]

Calzaghe was in trouble in that last round against Eubank, but Eubank was horrendously weight-drained in that fight, I doubt he could have kept that up for 3 more rounds.

The fight that springs to mind most is Hagler-Leonard but one of the judges had Leonard 118-110 after 12 rounds in that fight as I recall so Hagler would have had to win the last 3 rounds big to win it as there was obviously a bought judge in the house that night.

One I think would have been different after 15 rounds would be Eastman V Joppy, Eastman should have got the decision after 12 and was coming on strong at the end....3 more rounds and it would have been UD Eastman in my opinion.

[LennoxGOAT]

Recently, Wlad would have KO'd Peter.

[lenzo]

Margarito /Williams: Paul was starting to struggle and AM was starting to find his range more.

[bachatu]

Margarito /Williams: Paul was starting to struggle and AM was starting to find his range more.

I agree..i dont think people gave Margo much credit for that performance. He started to really impose his will on Paul in the second half of the fight and began hitting him on a regular basis. I was never really impessed with Margarito but after that fight he earned my respect- with the exception of him beeing a sore looser.

[SevenSamurai]

Bruno - McCall.

Bruno was out on his feet in the 12th and just hung on for a decision.
If there had been one more round, McCall would have TKO'd him in the 13th.

[Cruiser1]

Id also agree with the Williams-Margarito fight. Margarito didnt really become effective till around round 8. Williams did take many solid pnuches, and I think the body punches finally slowed him down a bit.

You forget that it was Margarito who lost the final round. If anything, Williams showed us something by regrouping after the 11th to come back and pull the fight out in the 12th. Margarito did next to nothing in the round he absolutely needed so I'm not buying that he would have done much in the next 3 had it been a 15 rounder.

[LennoxGOAT]

Yoru dead wrong, peter would have ko wlad!!!


I said Wlad-Peter. Not Peter-Toney or Peter-Shufford. Did you see the Wlad-Peter fight?

[thanosone]

Morales vs Barrera 3. Morales would have killed Barrera if the fight had one more round. Barrera was beaten basically bent over and kept holding on to Morales like his life depended on it.

[joito3]

tito-dlh

tito would have knocked him out
