They are one aspect of scoring a fight, a very important aspect, but not the only one.
Besides, if you are just going on punch connects compuboxs scores it 115-112 to Pacquiao.
Did you have it wider?Comment

If you don't believe me. Then just listen to his handlers Buboy Fernandez and Freddie Roach on YouTube.
Pac is 40 years old so that have to choose his opponents very wisely and carefully. They are a smart team. They know which battles to choose.
At this point in Pac's career, they are searching for the right opponents at the right time. Just take a look at his last three opponents; Matthysse, Broner and Thurman. What did they all have in common; They were all diminished, shot, washed up and past their primes.
If any fan disagrees with me it's because they had Thurman picked for the victory but I was not one of them. I always said that Pac would win this fight.
I just didn't think that the fight would have been as close as it was though.Comment

Actually if you are just going by punch connects CompuBox says Thurman landed 210 total punches while Pacquiao landed only 195.
But I don't judge fights that way so to me the counts don't matter.Comment

You must know fights are judged on a 10-9 point scoring system round by round?
If you apply that do the compubox stats, Pacquiao wins 115-112.
Do you agree with that score or did you have it wider?Comment

When you use your advantages in reach, footwork and skill to put box your opponent that isn’t running and clinching.
Running and clinching is what ODH did the last 5 rounds against Tito, barely landing a punch. Floyd landed punches against Manny.
This fight showed how great manny is but also makes you realize how great floyd is that he can totally neutralize his offense where a Thurman level boxer couldn’t.Comment

You no clinching is illegal in boxing right?
Do you think the rules of boxing should be enforced?
Do you also think running backwards gets you extra points

This thread was made to address the people that score fights based on who landed the most punches. If you go back and read the original post that was the whole point.
If you use the 10-point must system and score round-by-round and add any other criteria on top of that then my criticism obviously doesn't pertain to you.Comment
