Damn thats some wide margins. Total robbery.

Damn thats some wide margins. Total robbery.

That's why they don't use punch stats to score fights. Povetkin was the obvious winner of that fight.

Damn thats some wide margins. Total robbery.

Sort of looks to me like Povetkin landed more punches in the fight (201 to 197) and more power punches (144 to 136,) but if you saw the fight and called it a robbery, that's cool.

Wow, thats messed up. I just watched the fight again today, and I'm not sure there was a round that Eddie Chambers threw more than 20 punches. I must be watching with my eyes crossed or something.

I've never ever looked at punch stats for any fight and not been surprised....EVER. Punch stats still boggle my mind. I think they just look for different things or something.

The people who are counting the punches that land are human, and have their biases too. Punchstat statistics are only as accurate as whoever is observing and reporting.

I thought Povetkin landed a higher percentage of his punches than those statistics indicate.

look at chambers face. then look at povetkins face, then say who won the fight for real. lol

At the very end, Chambers face looked bruised enough. Because he's so pale, bruises are more visible on Sasha's face.
