But then you would have knock outs happen in under a minute. That would provide less value for the people who spent money to either watch the fight or be there in person. I think it’s structured in 12 rounds so that the viewers can betterbbe entertained, even though I feel like that doesn’t really show who’s the better fighter, rather who can hold out the longest.
Why would more protective padding lead to more knockouts?
I’d propose that with better head protection, you could have three, four-round fights in the same time span as a twelve-round fight, with more guaranteed boxing.
