If you land 61% of your power punches over twelve rounds, never get seriously hurt or injured, and face an opponent who can only land 28% on you, is the only explanation for your loss a total lack of effort on your part?
No there were no flash knockdowns. I was just rewatching Povetkin/Chambers and got frustrated with Eddie. He gave that fight away and showed absolutely no heart. It is like he never had any intention to win. The punchstats back that up.
Chambers was 136/244 on his power punches. He just couldn't miss but he wasn't willing to throw. No heart. No drive. He landed 8 less power punches than Povetkin will throwing 289 less. He'd be unbeaten somewhat easily if he just had any heart that night. Povetkin was sick too to make matters worse so he wasn't even at 100 percent and Chambers still just let him win.
I haven't watched that fight since it was televised, but it's called body punching/punch output/pressure that's what Povetkin did, that combined with Chambers being slightly overweight. Fast Eddie is a world class fighter and he's not just gonna stop throwing, all that combined with Povetkin eating his best shots and still coming back relentlessly.
You can blame it on heart if you want, but don't completely neglect what Povetkin did.
povetkin is a better fighter, the only thing I like about eddie is his guard to be honest...his guard is one of the best in the business...but he's too damn small for a true heavyweight, but he has great technique...I love watching him fight...but povetkin is better

What fight is this from TS? And compubox #s ain't the be all end all. Accordin to compubox, any punch other than a jab is a 'power punch.' The term can be misconstrued.
Since boxing is scored round by round it depends.
He could of did most of his damage in 5 rounds and do hardly nothing in the other 7 rounds.
Did the guy with 28% get any flash knock downs?
