CompuBox Punch Stat Reports for the Top Rank PPV

by SC on Feb 22, 2009 3:49 PM EST in Post-Fight Analysis Comment 1 comment

I know a lot of people love sports where there are a lot of stats (I know I do), and boxing has stats that aren't always widely discussed. For those interested as I am, here are the CompuBox punch stats from last night, with their short written summaries included.

Thanks to CompuBox for providing the numbers.

A few things to take from this:

1. As dominant as Pavlik was against Rubio, you could call it a mild mirage, because Rubio just didn't fight. Pavlik was really inaccurate.

2. Cotto destroyed poor Jennings.

3. Duddy's jab was not a mirage last night -- he threw 449 of them in ten rounds and connected quite well. But as we said before, his defensive improvements are mostly centered on the fact that the jab kept Vanda from punching as often as he might have. The jab was the key. Now they work on shoring up that still-spotty D. He's never going to be Winky Wright, but guys willing to go through the jab to get to him more frequently are still going to give him a lot of trouble.
