Comments Thread For: Canelo-Lara: CompuBox Breakdown of Punch Stats

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

MGM Grand, Las Vegas - WBA 'regular' junior middleweight champion Erislandy Lara (19-2-2, 12KOs) of Cuba had the edge in total punches landed, Mexican superstar Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (44-1-1, 31KOs) had the edge in power shots landed. 73 of Canelo's 88 landed punches were body shots. Lara probably would like a redo of round four: he landed just 3 of 20 punches. [Click Here To Read More]

Even if you break-down the punch stats, looks like a draw on paper just like it did live.

"You don't win by running. You win by hitting." - Canelo

Total Punches:

Alvarez - 97 / 415 (23%)

Lara - 107 / 386 (28%)

[Larry the boss]

So Canelo landed more power punches in 10 out of 12 rounds

I am confused here..the people who say Jabs do not count...are now saying Lara won by jabbing...the one's who call fighters running by using movement are now saying he won by "running" aka using movement...so wtf is it?

If boxing was only that black and white. Those 50 jabs Lara landed really stole the show I guess?

Lara got a nice trophy over his eye to remember Canelo by.

Canelo eye isn't looking better than Lara's, Seek.

The only fighter I seen more visibly being shaken by shots were Canelo over the course of the fight, even jabs were snapping his head. People act like jab don't sting or can hurt badly, Canelo threw power shots that were partially blocked if landed while he was getting hit flushed, where his body moved.

How many of those power punches were blocked body shots.

you completely missed the point. canelo says to win you need to hit more and not run. well...according to compubox lara outlanded him and was more accurate.

if lara ran all night then how did he manage to land more???

Power punches count more than jabs, but jabs still count, and body punches count.

Canelo landed more power punches in 10 of 12 rounds.

Canelo won a close fight. I had it 6-5-1
