Give him three rounds lads, we want three-rounders here judges yeah? None of these two round.

There are five rounds for a world title. Michael, have you ever had one of those world titles? Have you ever had a five rounder title?

Dana tell 'em three rounds, yeah? Second round... The fight is not over. They are unfinished battles. If their fight is incomplete, give them a third round. People here are fighting for their lives.
