There are not enough draws after 3 rounds anymore.

The past 2 years in particular so many fights have been scored wrong it's ridiculous. I don't think judges score enough rounds 10-10. I believe someone has to "earn" a round and do something that stands out or obviously score a down. Last night several of the fights nobody actually earned a single round, they should have been 30-30 after 3 rounds. BUT WE DON'T GET MANY 4TH ROUNDS ANYMORE!!! why? I'm thinking it's all about "time" fans' attention span, & television time slots...

last 2 years Remy vs Mighty Mo, everyone knows the fight was actually 10-9, 10-9, 8-10...one more round please. Remy vs Botha everyone knows it should have been 9-10, 9-10, 10-8, one more round plz

and last night Hoost vs Aerts all 3 rounds should have been 10-10, nothing really happend to award anyone a round, and Remy deserved a draw at best after 3 vs JLB...wtf is going on?

This problem could be somewhat fixed if SUPERFIGHTS were always 5 rounds like JLB vs Abidi. Last month imagine if Leko and Karaev went 5 instead of 3...That would be a start? Right?

I was also quite disappointed with the decisions from Remy-Jerome and Hoost-Aerts. both fights should have got an extra round, or even better; bring back the 5 rounds for the superfights!

I think they need to bring back 5 rounders for super fights.

Agreed... 5 round super fights makes more sense.

I would even settle for 4 rounds.

ive been saying for awhile now, along with many others, that the format for a 5 round superfight should be re-adopted for these high profile fights. 3x3 is cool for tournament format only. superfights, the fighters need more time. i mean fuck, imagine if jlb vs abidi only went 3 rounds. we would have missed out on a hell of a fight.

I once saw a k-3 tournament with Rob Kaman that had a five round tournament final. It's tough but it sure made a good fight :).
