Volume Metrics in Boxing

Punch volume reflects work rate, conditioning, and fighting style. Consistent high output often impresses judges and creates scoring opportunities.

Key Volume Metrics

  • Total Punches Thrown - Overall output across the fight
  • Punches per Round - Average round-by-round output
  • Volume Consistency - Standard deviation across rounds
  • Late-Round Output - Punches thrown in championship rounds (10-12)

Volume by Weight Class

  • Heavyweight - 30-50 punches/round typical
  • Light Heavyweight to Middleweight - 50-70 punches/round
  • Welterweight to Lightweight - 60-80 punches/round
  • Featherweight and below - 70-100+ punches/round

Analyzing Volume Patterns

  • Declining volume indicates fatigue or damage
  • Increasing volume suggests successful second-half adjustments
  • Spikes in specific rounds often correlate with momentum shifts
  • Consistent volume demonstrates superior conditioning
