BoxingScene. Effective punching or Work rate ?

[puga]

I'm sick of hearing about work rate. If a guy throws hundreds of punches and lands hardly anything while his opponent is waiting, picking the right spots and landing most of his punches, guess who's getting the round...

thats true but that was not the case last night....

Pacquaio also hit clean many clean combo at marquez face while marquez always landed one punches.

What fight were you watching? Manny mostly stuck to his "jab, straight left hand" combo all night long, that's why he looked so crappy. He caught Marquez with the right hook once or twice, but for some reason, he went right back to relying on his left entirely.

All of the good combinations were landed by Marquez. Crunching right hands that backed Pacquiao off, and visibly hurt him, digging hooks to the body, ripping uppercuts between the guard, etc...

So you factor in what the opponet's face looks like, at the end of a fight?

Newsflash : Some guys just swell and cut easier than others. Look at Ricky Hatton, and how badly his face was swollen in some of his biggest wins.

I'm sorry, but your boy got owned last night 8 rounds to 4, and it's damn near agreed upon universally, at this point. Everybody from sportswriters, to fellow boxers, to random boxing fans online agree Marquez got robbed.

let me ask u again dummy

why was marquez face swelling all over?

did marquez punch himself?

pac was missing all night right?

Marquez was the combination puncher last night. Pacman was limited to lead right hooks & the ocasional straight left. Marquez had the uppercut, straight right & the 2-piece to the body at the end of most exchanges working wonders.

im not sure which fight ur watching

what i saw lastnight was pacquiao blocking shots and trying to dodge them

he wasnt backpedalling dumb arse

only one person i saw backpedaling and it wasnt pac

jmm was backpedaling and just countering for 12 rounds
which is always hard for any aggressor to win

but pac won that night by having effective punches and workrate

[frosty-g]

combination of both....

workrate , pac won that...

effective punching pac won that aswell

check my sig....

i'm sorry, and i know a lot of people won't agree with me, but compubox statistics are not gospel. you do realise how they're counted right?- a couple of guys who i don't think necessarily know all that much about boxing tallying up the punches in real time. basically not much different to amateur boxing judges but with a much more complicated task.

now i'm not saying that the figures are wrong, although i'm not sure they're are right, but just that they are not the be all and end all.
