Reading Fight Statistics

Interpreting Boxing Statistics

Raw numbers tell part of the story. Understanding context and patterns reveals the complete picture.

Volume vs. Efficiency

• High Volume, Low Accuracy - Aggressive style, possibly fatigue or poor technique
• Low Volume, High Accuracy - Counter-puncher or technical boxer
• High Volume, High Accuracy - Dominant performance
• Low Volume, Low Accuracy - Defensive fight or ineffective offense

Round-by-Round Analysis

Look for trends across rounds to identify patterns:

• Early round dominance vs. late round comebacks
• Conditioning issues (declining output)
• Momentum shifts after knockdowns
• Strategic adjustments between rounds

Contextual Factors

• Fighting Style - Brawlers have different stats than boxers
• Weight Class - Heavyweights throw fewer punches than lighter divisions
• Fight Importance - Title fights often have different pacing
• Judging Perception - Some fights are closer statistically than scorecards suggest
