In 1991 there weren't any rounds. The WBC, WBA and IBF all agreed to having title fights fought in two fifteen minute halves, just like football matches. The Ring withheld the award, because they didn't consider 15 minutes to be a proper boxing round. The fans didn't like the new format either and it went back to traditional 12*3 rounds again.

At least that's what I remember.

cheers
