Punch Accuracy Analysis

Measuring Punch Efficiency

Accuracy reveals technical skill and shot selection. High-volume fighters with low accuracy waste energy; low-volume fighters with high accuracy maximize effectiveness.

Accuracy Benchmarks

• Elite Accuracy - 40%+ connect rate
• Good Accuracy - 30-40% connect rate
• Average Accuracy - 25-30% connect rate
• Poor Accuracy - Under 25% connect rate

Factors Affecting Accuracy

• Fighting Style - Counter-punchers typically have higher accuracy
• Opponent Defense - Elite defensive fighters lower opponent accuracy
• Fatigue - Accuracy often declines in later rounds
• Pressure - High-pressure styles sacrifice accuracy for volume

Using Accuracy in Analysis

Compare jab accuracy vs. power accuracy to identify patterns:

• Higher jab accuracy suggests good range control
• Higher power accuracy indicates effective set-ups and timing
• Declining accuracy across rounds signals fatigue or adjustment issues
