Hvornår ændrede de boksning til 12 runder?
19. oktober 1987
The distance (boxing)
Året efter, den 27. marts 1983, blev den første sværvægtstitelkamp nogensinde, der var planlagt til 12 runder efter denne regel, afholdt af WBC mellem Larry Holmes og Lucien Rodriguez. World Boxing Association, som World Boxing Organization endnu ikke havde skilt sig ud fra, fulgte senere trop og stemte den 19. oktober 1987 om at reducere deres mesterskabsafstande til 12 runder. Selv om International Boxing Federation, som for nylig havde løsrevet sig fra WBA, fortsat holdt fast ved den holdning, at der ikke var nogen dokumenteret medicinsk dokumentation for, at en kamp på 15 runder er farligere end en kamp på 12 runder, stemte de til sidst den 3. juni 1988 også for at forkorte deres mesterskabsdistance til 12 runder.

The following year on March 27, 1983, the first ever heavyweight title fight scheduled for 12 rounds under that rule was held by the WBC between Larry Holmes and Lucien Rodriguez. The World Boxing Association, from which the World Boxing Organization had not yet separated, later followed suit by voting to reduce their championship distances to 12 rounds on October 19, 1987. While the International Boxing Federation, which had recently broken away from the WBA, continued to hold onto the position there was no documented medical evidence to show a 15-round fight is more dangerous than a 12-round fight, they eventually voted to shorten their championship distance to 12 rounds as well on June 3, 1988.
