    It seems that all the media are talking about power punch stats. Why is everyone ignoring total punches (jabs + power punches)? There's more to boxing than power punches. I know that Manny landed at a higher percentage overall, but you know who else landed at a higher overall percentage?

    Punchstats dont tell who threw the damaging shots

    When u dominate pumchstats and have all the big moments, big shots of the fight and u dont get the decision u better call the police cause u got robbed.

    Jabs count....but Jabs are not as effective as power shots. Part of scoring in boxing is the effect you offense has on your opponent. One power punch could do 5 times the damage of a good jab.

    TIMs jab was weak as hell....not accurate and wasn't thrown to inflict damage...it was thrown to keep Pac off him.

    The media is mistaken to think Compubox should actually matter at all.

    Pacquiao still won though.
