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

[aboutfkntime]

Compubox obviously doesn't count body punches. No other explanation for counting only 4 punches landed for Ward in round 7.

compubox is absurd

anyone who quotes compubox should never be taken seriously

casual fans..... watch the fight, and then check compubox to find out what they were watching

truly ******ed

Let's think about this for a second.

They're saying Ward only landed 10 body punches in the 8th round???? What crack are they smoking????

Ward landed 3 body punches alone to get Kovalev in trouble. He landed 3 more body punches when Weeks stopped the fight. That's 6 body punches alone. Are these idiots expecting us to believe that Ward only landed 4 more body punches for the rest of the 8th round outside of that? What fools do these morons take us for?

This is how I know for a FACT that whoever was pushing that button last night, was paid off in Kovalev's favor.

Same as Ledderman; they're all in the same boat.

That's like them trying to tell us Ward didn't land any punches in the 2nd round of their last fight. That'a an utter LIE.

I don't know about that, but compubox IS horribly inaccurate

no idea why

I found those stats to seem more accurate than normal

some fights seem to end with each guy landing 40-odd punches a round

compubox should never be mentioned EVER, except by historians..... because on occasion career-stats tell a story

using compubox as justification for anything, is the realm of the casual-fan idiot

But if they weren't paid, how can you seriously say that ward only landed 10 body punches in the 8th round? That is either gross incompetence or you were paid off. One or the other.

I remember seeing a stat where they said Ward only outlanded Kovalev 1 round out of 7 or something crazy. I find it hard to just be gross incompetence because I've seen the script too many times. I honesty believe they were paid to push a propaganda

People only count compubox as a legit stat when it favors their favorite fighter.

Rabbit Punches:
Kov - 7/10 70%
Ward - 2/5 40%

well said, compubox is rubbish

oh wait, you were meaning.....






never mind

[kiaba360]

Both guys were more active than the last fight. I think that hurt Kov more than Ward.

[j0zef]

That's pretty interesting. I thought Ward won 5th-7th. Compubox gives him credit for 4 punches landed in the 7th though.

[KingHippo]

Threw more punches, landed more, including the jab. Yep, Ward was winning doe! He would have won anyway doe! Home slice jiggety!

Ward was much more effective in his aggression. He had higher connect rate in power shots for every round except the 7th. In other words, you don't know **** about judging fights.

Ward vs Stevenson for the Undisputed title

You guys should know, Ward didn't choose Kovalev, Kathy Duva invited Ward to come up in weight to fight Kovalev for the number 1 position in the pound-for-pound list. She did it to wipe-off Stevenson from the equation. But by ducking Stevenson with this plan, Karma bust the ish on their face. By using Ward name, they thought Ward would've been an easy fight to glory, but it wasn't.
Kovalev always had a weak point in that spot, Caparello knock down Kovalev on that same spot (on the belt), but it was seen as a low blow. John D Jackson gave way to much information about Kovalev weaknesses points to Ward clan, when Hunter played Jackson with the idea of recruiting him.
But about fighting Stevenson, Kovalev was playing all along and Ward carefully does everything to avoid the Stevenson subject. If he smiles in the interviews, as soon as Stevenson name comes up, the charismatic smile's gone.
He says he wants to go up to cruiseweight, but we know it's a blattant lie, just to avoid talking about the only subject which make sense; I mean making history by fighting for the Undisputed title against Adonis Stevenson. Which is the real pursuit of legacy.
Max Kellerman already gave his opinion about the logical matchup of Ward vs Stevenson.
*Quote: (Stevenson should go in the ring against Ward, Sure!)...
HBO will have the last word on who should he fought, Smith Jr, Beterbiev, Browne, Gvozdyk or Stevenson have a GO, but all other names will be rejected if they aren't sanctionned as mandatory to Ward. HBO wont waste their money with small defenses, and if Rocknation decides to knock Haymon PBC Showtime door, Ward will have to face Stevenson first. Let's not forget HBO & Showtime are now working together on major events.
Anyhow, Crawford will take that Pound-for-pound number 1 spot when he'll become Undisputed, by fighting Indongo, because HBO will decide so. Means, Andre Ward may preach as long as he wants about fighting Cleverly, by pretending how he likes UK and wants to fight there, but Mayweather X-Factor Badou Jack strategically blocked this avenue.
Once the sanctionning bodies like IBF or WBA will begin to tell him to defend his titles, Ward will have 2 choices, high risk no reward guys like Beterbiev-Gvozdyk or high risk high reward Stevenson. Will he lose his "legacy, position and reputation" by vacating few Belts, will he turn down his own chance to make history by retiring, will he suddenly push the clock by faking an injury hoping Stevenson loses in the process; or will trust faith and fight Stevenson.
Anyways, Kal-El Stevenson will become the next Undisputed LHW champion, which will have to defend all his titles against Badou Jack. A Haymon-Mayweather win win...
