Herbie Hide and two minute rounds as a pro?

[Controversial]

I just noticed that Herbie Hide’s first two professional fights are recorded as 6 two minute rounds, anyone know why only two minute rounds?

That was standard at the time, where other countries had 4x3 as the minimum length, the UK had 6x2.

But his third fight a month later was 6x3?

Yes it was. You can see it as the equivalent of going from 4-rounders to 6-rounders.

Ok thanks, can’t say I’ve noticed shorter rounds before
