		The World Boxing Association even stripped a fighter of his championship in 1983 because the fight had been a 15-round bout, shortly after the rule was changed to 12 rounds.
		By 1988, to the displeasure of many boxing purists, all fights had been reduced to a maximum of 12 rounds only, partially for safety, and partially for television, as a 12-round bout could take one hour to broadcast, while a 15-round bout could require 90 minutes to broadcast.

		But the hottest division at the moment is definitely welterweight, and it's the home of boxing's hottest star, Oscar de la Hoya, the subject of Tim Kawakami's recent biography, "Golden Boy." The gulf that separates boxing fans from the rest of humanity is best measured by his magic name.

		The trickier demo will be teenagers and early twentysomethings, who are too young to remember the originals but too old not to harbor skepticism about a franchise their parents remember so fondly.
