Last time we saw Angulo he had to turn his back because those jutting eyebrow ridges of his got cracked. Angulo hasn't been the same since the massacre at the hands of Kirkland.
jmm is one of the best counter-punchers in the game and still threw 450 punches against bradley at the age of 40 http://compuboxonline.com/throwdownfantasy-com-stats-bradley-w-12-marquez/ if you think that a 23-year-old canelo throwing just 430 punches is normal then you re pretty clueless http://compuboxonline.com/compubox-stats-alvarez-w-12-trout/ these are what jmws in their prime should be throwing http://compuboxonline.com/compubox-stats-kirkland-ko-6-tapia/ http://compuboxonline.com/compubox-stats-lara-ko-10-angulo/ http://www.fightkings.com/boxing/fight-reports/demetrius-andrade-defeats-martirosyan/ http://fightscorecollector.blogspot.mx/2013/09/the-one-undercard-press-scores-ishe.html if you think canelo throwing 400 punches against kirkland, lara or andrade is going to cut it you are very wrong. alvarez has four more fights at 154 before hes a gatekeeper/contender there is little room in the crowded 154 division for a 5'7" jmw withuot one punch power, plodding footwork who is only capable of throwing 450 punches in a fight
it was round six, the most dominate round by either fighter, that canelo was getting worked over by the feather-fisted trout. http://compuboxonline.com/compubox-stats-alvarez-w-12-trout/ both outlanded and outthrown by twice as many punches i could only imagine if that was the killer kirkland landing those blows
(fans) that dont know much about the sport think # of punches thrown and the be all end all. if that was the case money and rigo would be .500 fighters. your logic is beyond flawed and once you gain some experience you will start to realise such
can you explain why all the aforementioned 154 fighters threw 700+ punches in their fights while canelo could only throw 430? are you implying thats its better to throw less punches than more punches? because generally the guy that throws the most punches and connects the most punches is typically the guy that wins a fight
yeah lara was hurt twice, and it was competitive, but lara outboxed angulo for long stretches as well, its just that nobody beats lara easily at 154, he has the least "flaws" in the division.
lara outboxed angulo ?? lara was eating left hooks all night with no defense for that, he surely pissed blood that night, that fight was close and lara was already fading in the last rounds... what it was supposed to be an easy fight for lara turned out into a nightmare ...
its about connects NOT thrown and the kind of shots landed. cabelo throws meaningful shots so when he lands they have an impact.. doesnt matter if you throw 2000 punches is most are jabs or ineffective shots. i bet there are more winners who throw the fewer # of shots than the winners throwing the higher # with ALL top fighters
