CompuBox: The Numbers Behind Mayweather's Dominance

by Scott Christ on Sep 20, 2009 2:22 AM EDT in Boxing Results and Post-Fight Analysis

The numbers are just absolutely absurd. The folks at CompuBox were nice enough to shoot this over right away, and the fight was every bit as lopsided as these numbers.

CompuBox Analysis: Total domination by Floyd who held Marquez to single digit connects in every round. Floyd distributed his attack, landing 59%of his power shots and 59% of his jabs. Floyd landed more jabs each round than Marquez did total punches. Floyd’s performance was reminiscent of Roy Jones’ domination of Reggie Johnson. Jones outlanded Johnson 276-48, but one can’t place Johnson in the same class as Marquez, a future Hall of Famer.

Bad Left Hook's Take: I honestly do not understand how anyone gave any round to Marquez. Mayweather toyed with him, and Marquez never landed more than eight punches in a single round, and VERY few of ANY of his landed punches (a whopping 69 in 12 rounds) were good, solid shots that affected Floyd at all. He never hurt him, never had him shaken, never even backed him down. The only times Floyd backed away were to reset or lure Marquez into yet another set of sharp jabs, an unstoppable left hook, or a straight right, which is a punch he didn't even use as much as usual, it seemed.

Thank goodness for a Great undercard

because my god the main event was uncompetitive. Am pretty surprised he got any rounds too.

lol

was still a really good fight, he was so close to taking John out late. And Katsidis-Escxobedo was pretty good back and forth

I thought it was a fairly dull fight until Rocky turned on the jets. Those two fights PISS ME OFF. I dig Juarez while accepting his flaws, but for god’s sake, clearly he has the power at 126 to hurt John, TURN IT ON EARLIER, DUDE.

yeah after the fight was over i denounced my fanship towards rocky, but i’ll always root for the bastard. he’s a good dude who will ultimately never win the big one because he just won’t let them go.

No reason to renounce your fandom. I still love me some Ricky Hatton (don’t know if you’ve heard but there’s only one of him), and hell, as much as I’ve tried to be explicitly clear that his recent wins weren’t too impressive, I still get a real kick out of Roy Jones Jr., too.

nice double correct (renounce & fandom instead of denounce and fanship), but yeah still a massive baby bull fanboy even after the JMM-Campbell-Malignagio (lennoxxxxxx) debacles.

yeah, he really should have, and I thought for a second we were going to see another very late Froch-Taylor like stoppage, he was So close…

I was impressed by Chris John’s ability to survive that round. The shot he got hit with that buckled his knees was wicked, and he was totally out of gas.

he was thoroughly in a bad way

He showed a lot of heart to hang on in here, he was clinging on to Rocky to stay upright in the end.

One thing I’ll say is this…. Mayweather certainly threw about 30 punches in the first round, but if he LANDED 18 I’ll eat Chris Arreola’s sweaty hat.

careful jrok, that hat you’re thinking of gets pretty sweaty ;p

yes...

Compubox had Mayweather colored glasses on. Not BADLY… but I was questioning the numbers on several of the rounds

Gimme 1 round!

by ItBurnzWhenIP on Sep 20, 2009 9:44 AM EDT up reply actions

He never hurt him, never had him shaken, never even backed him down.

Okay… Another thing I’ll say. This is simply not true. Marquez backed Floyd down (without answer) on two punches, both of them overhand rights. He even shook him on one… not that it made a difference in the long run.

He did land a couple of good punches

I’m not sure he shook him though, he just grinned and never respected Marquez’s potential ability to hurt him through the fight, in fact from very early on.

I didn’t think he actually hurt him. Maybe got him to reset a little, but not really shook him up or legit backed him off.

agree with the other two dudes, in no way was mayweather damaged by those punches. too slow with no zip behind me. sure jmm backed mayweather down but thats what everyone does. what happens when you back him up and get him on the ropes is a different story (pot shot, move away quickly or lean back and blast a straight right hand)

Come on man he didn't even make him flinch...

Most of his punches were extremely slow due to the weight gain so Floyd could see them coming. Plus there was no whip to his punches so there was no damage being done even when he did hit.

It was actually a strange fight without speed or power all he had was his chin lol.

This was not a fight it was a virtuoso....

Absolutely technical and beautiful performance by FMM. Floyd’s hands and body was so much faster than JMM’s hands, it got to be embarrassing. Money looked quick and as unhittable as ever (aka no ring rust). He made marquez hesitant to throw punches and neutralized any speed JMM thought he had. These numbers only reinforce the Compubox numbers posted earlier this week, which show that Floyd is a defensive genius. The only question remaining for PBF is who got enough cash to be next?

by Waldo Rastel on Sep 20, 2009 3:55 AM EDT reply actions

I gave Marquez 3 and 4

And I thought Compubox – which is just a guy clicking when he sees a punch land – was way off in those 2 rounds. JMM landed the better power shots and Floyd got credit for a couple clipping jabs but didn’t land anything else in those rounds.

Gimme 1 round!

by ItBurnzWhenIP on Sep 20, 2009 9:42 AM EDT reply actions

Floyd will never fight somebody that will challenge him

More and more convinced about that

Gayweather is a coward.

Gimme 1 round!

by ItBurnzWhenIP on Sep 20, 2009 9:46 AM EDT reply actions

Marquez fought good..He was throwing comibinations and moving forward.But he couldn’t find openings. Floyd’s defense is just too good. It was a great performance by Floyd.
