Compubox is utter shite don't take any stock in it. Its both quality and quantity... in this case the larger proportion of clean punches came from JMM.

He was.

Made me laugh when Lederman said, just look at Marquez's face and look at Pacquiao's. Its like getting to the end of a fight and saying the guy who's face is less beat up must of won.

Manny was probably landing the harder punches when! he landed, but they were not landing as consistently as Marquez's, so maybe that explains it, that Manny landed with more power?

Compubox???? it scores punches which land on arms and gloves, would you take that as a clean shot, as opposed to one that lands in the target area? 10 punches on gloves as opposted to 3 or 4 to the head, or body.
