Does outlanding your opponent means you won a fight???

How do you guys view a scorecard when you see a compubox scorecard??? Do you feel a fighter who outland his opponent should get a decision if the fight goes 12 rounds??

Nope. There are four judging criteria, though mostly I give clean punching the most credence.

Nah, a fighter could land 100 punches each round for 3 rounds. Then the other fighter outlands them in the other 9 rounds but still landed less punches overall.

no because compubox is total punches landed when its all said and done. So 1 fighter might out land the other one in 5 out of 12 rds..by a margin of 10, but the other right lands more punches 7 out of 12 rds by a margin of 3....so by compubox it might look like the guy who won 5 rds out landed the guy who won 7rds..also ring genralship and effective punching..and knock downs of course all have to be factored in.

Don't use the rd by rd punch stats. That's for insight, but not the best judgin criteria.

Perfect example:

Mayweather vs. Castillo 1

Castillo outlanded Mayweather and had more impressive rounds.

Floyd won more rounds overall.

Thats my exact understanding of the way a scorecard should be, I was on youtube last night and was watching the Cotto/Clottey fight and the comments were Cotto was gifted a decision and that the compubox total number of punches landed proves that.

I said if a fighter lands alot of punches in 1 or 2 rounds it only mean he won that round not the fight.




At 5.48 of this video it shows Clottey outland cotto 222>179 and people automatically think clottey won why???

good point, compubox is a tally of total punches thrown/landed for the whole fight. Just because a fighter landed more overall punches does not mean he won the fight. Fights are won by rds..not total punches.

I think people don't watch fights. As soon as they see the punch stats they assume the person who landed more should have won.

Thats why i alway urge people to score a fight based on what happen in each round without any biase or without been sway by the commentators who alway have their own favourite.
