Answer

After Kim's tragic match, the championship bouts were reduced to 12 rounds. This was done in an effort to prevent future tragedies, as Kim had died after a grueling 15-round fight. The reduction in rounds was met with some controversy, as some argued that it would make the sport less exciting. However, the safety of the fighters was ultimately deemed to be more important.
