    I wish there were more statistics in boxing like there are in other sports. For example, in rematches, what % of fighters win the 2nd fight that have won the 1st fight. Additionally, does modern day boxing use advanced analytics in any way?

    Almost every rematch goes the way of the first

    You could write a program. Get the source code from Boxrec and figure out what you want to know. Sounds like an Intro to Python kind of project, I could do it in under 1 hour

    Pointless. Styles make fights. The most repeated stat I'm hearing these days is KO percentage. Never mentions quality of opposition. IMO boxing does not lend itself well to stats.
