Well, non title fights are usally 10 rounds and championship fights are 12. Though I think this fight will be an exception and go 12 rounds do to the anticipation and draw.

I'm not worried about who leaves with the belt, I feel like in a boxing match rounds 11-12 could make a big diffrence. A lot could happen in the last 6 minutes. A champ and a former champ should fight for twelve rounds imo.

I'm almost certain it will go 12 rounds just because of who they are.

that's true. But i kinda hope Taylor win, because that sets up a supermatch between him and Calzaghi. I think Taylor would pull it off.

I think pav. would beat Calzaghi though. In fact, I make a poll about it.
