Hit and not get hit. There's a reason why 'hit' goes before 'not get hit'

Ah the apocryphal "Won a round without throwing a punch". That individual was remarkable and was probably the best defensive technician of all time. That he won a round without throwing a punch is remarkable, and is a standout point of boxing. It certainly isn't the norm that a round would be won without attempting to throw punches, hence the oft-quoted round.

If it wasn't remarkable then you may have a point.

Incidentally the individual in question had 65 wins by knockout.

That's telling them.

I don't believe this and never will until I see it.

I'm assured by a friend of the late great Willie Pep that it actually happened. It is possible to win a round without throwing a punch, by putting your opponent off balance and bossing the ring. Winning a fight without throwing a punch? It'll never happen.
