Power Punches Vs. Jabs

What power punches do to a fighter:


What jabs do to a fighter:



Danny threw more power punches tho.

Garcia still looking corny as hell, even after getting his ass whooped.

[BigZigga]

Always found that misleading
Some fighters have beast jabs that are stronger than "power" punches
Anything to the body I believe is considered a power punch as well. And anything landed low is considered legitimate. In short, don't trust punch stats

[MPX309]

forget about that, clean punches matter more, and Danny didn't have the cleaner punches

Correct. Anyone who says otherwise is a liar. :boobies:

[Bigg Rigg]

I kinda agree but if your trying to make a case for Garcia winning, your wrong! Danny lost.

This is what matters. More than anything. This isn't amateur boxing. Punch stats can help tell a story, but looking at them alone can be incredibly misleading and this fight is a huge example of that. But this isn't amateur scoring where any landed punch scores. If a punch all but misses and maybe sc****s the guys face, then it's ineffective. Garcia was ineffective and his 'power punches' didn't do anything.

150 power punches is utterly absurd. Complete bull****. I'd say a maximum of those, maybe 60 or 70%, were blocked, ridden and slipped and yet people go on about it as it that fight was Garcia landing power punches all throughout and Herrera landing just jabs throughout.

When that happens as people are suggesting, its usually the jabbing guy getting hurt, busted up, and us seeing a clear comparison. That did not happen here.

Garcia just didn't land that much. He missed most of his shots, and whoever counted that stat was just missing that fact.

This isn't about power vs jabs. This was about one guy being effective and the other not. One guy fighting his fight, and the other not. One guy winning, pretty clearly, and the other losing.

Exactly. I can't understand how there are actually people defending Garcia's win when he clearly lost.

[Dinamita 03]

Herrera was landing "power" jabs he had Danny's head snapping back constantly.

Theyre in damage control mode.
