Though Rodriguez threw 108 more punches than Delgado, he only landed 5 more punches. In only three of the ten rounds were the combatants separated by more than 4 landed punches. Delgado blunted Rodriguez’s volume by connecting on 48% of his power

punches. The widest gap in punches landed occurred in the final round, where Delgado, who was almost knocked down in the penultimate round, landed 10 more punches than Rodriguez. This proved pivotal on the judges’ scorecards, as one judge scored the

fight 95-95, while the other two judges scored the fight identically for Delgado, 96-94.
