I completely agree with daguum.
Compubox stats are incorrect but even if they were accurate, it is an ineffective way of judging a fight given that a glancing blow and a clean blow are both classed as a landed power punch. A round should be judged on who does more damage. This is not old-style point-scoring amateur boxing.
Floyd mayweather jr. switched his style to point scoring and because he was such a big draw, he had ridiculously favourable scorecards in first maidana fight and the pacquaio fight. People now give unwarranted credence to this style and theres a snobby sect of the boxing community which believes that those who dont appreciate this style aren't as knowledgeable about boxing, whilst completely ignoring the illegal tactics of bending below the waist and illegal repetitive holding.
