In the match between Devin Haney and Jose Ramirez, Haney was criticized for winning the “fighting and running” style. The following statistics show that, in this match, Haney launched 224 punches and hit the target 70 times. The number of Ramirez side is 279 punching and hitting 40 times.
So Devin Haney really played boring and sleepy? Immediately after Haney's victory, Ryan Garcia entered competition with Rolando Romero. Garcia lost the match despite hitting more, 65 times in 207 punches. The number of Romero side is 267 punching, hitting 54 times.
Another noteworthy parameter is in the 70 punches of Devin Haney's destination, only 25 JABs, the rest are 45 heavy punches. This figure of Ramirez is 17, Ryan Garcia is 18, Romero is 18. All are relying heavily on Jab, not as heavy as Haney.
The match between Canelo Alvarez and William Scull is even more “tragic”. At the end of 12 rounds, Canelo said Scull was boring and cowardly opponents. However, Canelo did not really produce many effective attacks in this match. He only punched 152 times, hit the target 56 times, on average 5 shots each.
William Scull may not be a big boxer like Canelo, but he tried to make a lot. The number of Scull punches towards Canelo is 293 times, but it is not really effective, when hit by the target 55 times. Another difference is that Canelo rely on heavy attacks, 48 compared to Scull's 28.
When Canelo played, the camera lens continuously leaned towards the Terence Crawford, who felt asleep because they had to watch. Canelo's victory was also recorded as the 12 -round match with the least number of punches in the history of the peak matches, with 445 shots. Earlier, the competition between Chris Eubank Junior and Conor Benn recorded 1505 punches.
For this reason, Devin Haney's father spoke out to protect his son. He said: “My child punched 70 times when he was said to be boring, while Canelo only punched 56 shots, he was praised as a tactical and calculated strategy. I did not understand why Canelo did not end the match early before such an opponent.”
