CompuBox takes a detailed look at the past four fights for heavyweight champions Wladimir Klitschko and David Haye, who in a few hours will collide for the WBO/IBO/WBA/IBF titles in Hamburg, Germany. Klitschko has a big advantage in activity, throwing more jabs per round than Haye throws total punches per round. 67% of Klitschko's landed punches were jabs and 70% of Klitschko's thrown punches were jabs. Both landed only 6 power punches per round, which is half the heavyweight average.

When you fight slow old men like Valuev and Ruiz it's no wonder Haye's connect % are so high

when you have perhaps the lowest punch output in all of professional boxing, its not hard to have a high connect ratio
Really? How does not throwing punches help your accuracy? The punches still need to land to count. :dunce:

Haye is way more accurate, but it won't matter much tonight.
I would hope so. With the number of punches he throws if he was ANYMORE inaccurate he'd be landing 1 or 2 punches at most per round. Pathetic.
