Comments Thread For: Pacquiao vs. Thurman - CompuBox Punch Stats

... Pac have set lots of traps by moving backwards... his game plan took KT by surprise, it seemed, and Keith didn't adjust properly... (fight was very close, but the "eye impression" was for Pacman...)

Dude, pac has no traps or game plans. He fights exactly the same way he’s been fighting.
PAC always struggles against good boxers (Marquez, Floyd and even Keith gave a good account of himself despite the loss).

The right man won yesterday but not by setting traps or a game plan. PAC was just pac

I hope Floyd fights him so he can beat him up again and then PAC fans can claim he was old even though Floyd is older.

Now, I am not calling you a Pac fan at all

Compublind more like it.

And that is why.. You don't get it..

Here's some critical thinking video for you

The fight was close. I had it 6-6 at the end. 114-113 for Pacquiao.

That knockdown was huge.

I wont trust compu box. I witnessed how Manny landed shots that computer box wasn't registering. Too fast for the machine.

The body shot for example didnt register

Not a machine, just a few guys with clickers.

No dog in this race, Thurman clearly won this fight albeit close. He dictated the pace much of the fight and was sharp with right hands to pacs dome. Pac fought very well in spurts.

I dont have a dog in the race either and PAC clearly won 7-5 + the KD.

The fight was close but the compubox numbers are misleading because of the knockdown and the late round where Thurman was again almost knockdown from the body shot. 1st round Thurman was winning landing more shots then got dropped so not only does that wipe out all the good work he did but puts him down 2 points in the fight. Late after he made a run to get back into the fight he was again probably winning the round then eats a body shot bends down almost dropped badly hurts runs just to survive the round so all the punch stats that round and round 1 mean nothing because no judge gives a round to a guy who was hurt and knocked down or was hurt and barely survived out the round.

That's 2 rounds Thurman flat out lost despite landing more punches in those rounds. Then you add the fact that pacquiao landed more punches then thurman in 5 other rounds. So that's 7 rounds thurman lost.

Ignoring punch stats all together and just scoring based on the real criteria of judging Pacquiao built a big lead early with the knockdown and winning 4 of the first 5 rounds. Then he got tired and Thurman ran off rounds and was even and pacquiao was able to grab a couple rounds late to hold him off and win the fight

These are not critical thinking video. I’d call them promo videos.

First video is against Margarito. Margarito had just been knocked out by Mosley, it was a catch weight of 150 to give PAC advantage, and more important, Margarito is a garbage ****er. There’s a reason why Roach/Arum carefully selected Margarito.

Third video was Algieri who was a virtual unknown. Did you or anyone think he was ever a threat to PAC?

Here are facts:
- Cotto was a catch weight fight
- Oscar was a catch weight
- Brandon Rios has just lost to Alvarado at 135 and was moving up to 147
- Mosley had just lost to Floyd
Mathysse hadn’t fought in two years and had lost his last fight
- Horn was a virtual unknown
- Broner had lost 4 fights
- Marquez beat PAC 4 times

You can ignore all these facts so I have only one question for you; can you name one or two relevant and credible boxers that PAC fought over the last 8 years?

Other than Floyd who beat him and maybe Bradley who also beat him

Floyd didnt beat Pacquiao up lmfao

PAC has 7 losses so I guess no one has ever beaten him?
