    Danny was swinging and missing, go back and look at the punch that dipped Khan, it can be argued that he's just been getting lucky with the match making, for instance Lucas has no complicated movement, all Danny had to do is be able to take a punch and the rest of the fight would come down to who was the better boxer....

    Danny got his ass whipped last night no matter how you try to sugar coat it.....

    This is what it comes down to for me. Whose punches are cleaner, but especially, what is their effect.

    Spinner, please tell me you're Puerto Rican. There's no other way to explain your post.

    Garcia missed a lot of punches, landed in the air. Herrera beat Garcia's arse. The promoters are used to cheating the fans and getting away with it.

    The Herrera vs podnikov fight was this sort of scenario, though he was landing more than just jabs. Herrera completely Outlanding but received a severe beating.

    "Nice 5 punch combo by Garcia!!!" - Commentator late in the fight.
    One landed on a glove, 4 hit air.
    I doubt he even landed more power punches than his opponent, if one were to review the fight in detail.:-(

    10 Jabs actually could have more mustard behind them and land square thus being more effective than 6 power punches that did'nt land square.

    Alot of things have to be factored in weighing punches whether they're jabs or otherwise.
    Was it thrown with good torque and had alot behind it?

    How clean and hard did it land?

    Some fighters throw arm punches that dont have alot behind them, many of them are considered power punches by punchstats when the truth is the punch had little behind it.

    The naked eye has to judge and weigh the effectiveness of the shots whether its thrown in the form of a jab or otherwise.

    JABS HAVE POWER AS WELL!!!
