Comments Thread For: Andre Ward vs. Sergey Kovalev - CompuBox Punch Stats

[lopez36]

Whoever trusts in Compubox's stats is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom (the one who ignores Compubox's stats) and watches fights thoroughly, ignoring the commentary and just seeing and hearing what is a connected punch and what is not BY HIMSELF, and then thoroughly and carefully takes note of it, will be set straight.

and doing that,they will see kovalev as the winner

I've witnessed worst decisions but Kovalev didn't lose this fight.

As I suspected, outside of the lopsided 2nd, the connects in all of the other rounds were pretty much even, with Ward having the better percentage in pretty much all the rounds. The judges seemed to favor Ward's more percise blows, in the face of a storm, over Kovalev's aggression.

Dude, check your brain, it's not working.

Why should percentage of shots have anything to do with it?

Based on that, a fighter landing 1 out fo 2 punches thrown ending up with a 50% success rate did better than a fighter landing 10 punches out of 30 because he only had a 33% success rate.

In fact, if you land the first punch you throw in a round, you might as well not throw any more punches in that round, because you've got 100% already, wouldn't want to spoil that percentage would we!

These stats are incorrect. For starters, ward landed a big left hand at the end of the 2nd round to back Kovalev off. I'm not sure how that didn't count?

Numbers just confirm that scoring the 10th for Ward is mindboggling to say the least.

Funny, ward fans are saying compubox is wrong but some of the same fans were right behind it as gospel for the May pac fight
