were 2 minute rounds standard for pro bouts in Australia during the 1930's ? Jack Carroll's record prompted this question.

I've only learned last year that two minute rounds were quite common even in England for other than championship contests. They seemed to prefer 20 round fights of two minutes per round. You would think this would have put those fighters at distinct disadvantage when competing against North American boxers.
