Compubox

[Gamer30168]

What exactly is considered a power punch as far as compubox is concerned? Hooks and uppercuts? Or can a power punch also be a jab that snaps a fighter's head back sharply?

Anything other than a jab

Basically anything that's not a jab is considered a power punch by compubox. That's why I kinda hate the term power punch as a stat. Non-jabs would be a less exciting but better term to label the stat.

It's kinda dumb. When Kov knocked out that British guy with a jab, that was a damn power punch.

Even that Elvis guy just recently knocked out a guy with a jab. Golovkin's jab looks hard as ****.

but it kinda makes sense tho.. a jab you rarely throw it with any power.. just pretty much flick it out there. an uppercut, a hook, etc. you actually have to use force to throw those punches off.

All punches that are not jabs are counted as power punches.

Lol no doubt. Every jab isn't just a jab & certainly every power punch isn't powerful.

I don’t pay much attention to compubox tbh...

I like compubox as a reference for punch counts. But sometimes, too often really, they mess those up...sometimes quite badly.

I don't really pay a ton of attention to their jab vs power punch breakdowns. I am evaluating punch effectiveness myself each punch...as others guys have mentioned, sometimes a jab is a power punch...and sometimes a power punch is not powerful and is hardly scored at all.

It should probably be 'jab' and 'other' or 'jab' 'hook' 'uppercut' etc if they wanted to break it down that way. Calling everything other than a jab a power punch is just kind of off. And then calling every jab weak is off too. Some jabs, probably most, are just range finders and lighter touches than a normal power punch. But some jabs are great, consistently great even.

I.e., how can anyone say Larry Holmes' jab wasn't a power punch most of the time
