Photos of the CompuBox statistics that show how many punches Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley have thrown, landed and missed during their world welterweight bout on June 9, 2012 have circulated in the internet.
CompuBox is a computerized punches scoring system run by two operators. Each of them watches one of the two fighters and has access to four keys, corresponding to jab connect, jab miss, power punch connect, and power punch miss. The operators key in the different punches as they happen, collecting punch counts and hit percentages along the way.
The following are the statistics of the fight, according to CompuBox:
Total Punches Landed / Thrown
- Pacquiao 34% (253/751)
- Bradley 19% (159/839
- Pacquiao 24% (63/258)
- Bradley 11% (51/449)
- Pacquiao 39% (190/493)
- Bradley 28% (108/390)
If only the CompuBox stats were official, Pacquiao could have retained his title, but, as others would say, the Filipino boxing icon should have knocked out Bradley so the score cards won’t be needed.
