Add Saturday's twelve round draw between Francisco Vargas and Orlando Salido to the list of Fight of the Year winners/candidates hosted by The Stub Hub Center- better known as The War Grounds.
Vargas (65 per round) and Salido (68 per round) combined to throw a CompuBox 130-lb record 133 power shots thrown per round- more than double the CompuBox average.
They combined to land 51 power punches per round (Vargas 25 landed per rnd-Salido 26 landed per rnd) - again, more than double the CompuBox combined average and just seven less landed per round that Robert Guerrero (34) W 12 Yoshihiro Kamegai (23) combined to land. Guerrero (40 landed per round) and Kamegai (25 landed per round) combined to land 65 total punches per round.
Brandon Rios (77 thrown per round) KO 7 Mike Alvarado (112 thrown per round) combined to throw 189 punches per round in their first fight.
How impressive are the punch outputs by Vargas-Salido and Guerrero-Kamagai? They more than doubled the combined power punches landed and thrown in the Vazquez-Marquez III fight, which was voted Ring Magazine's 2008 Fight of the Year.
