A lot of times when you get a fighter throwing a lot of shots but isn't accurate, when you look at the ones they did connect, they still aren't really clean shots. With fighter b, he lands a higher percentage and the shots he does land are very clear and pin point
In a fight, more often than not I'd rather be the guy who threw more and landed more than the one who was more accurate. Especially if the guy who landed more happened to hurt his opponent and even scored a knockdown.
If we are talking of machine efficiency, your agenda is valid. If we talk about boxing, the more punch landed wins, despite lower percentage.
Quality and quantity are both scored according to this quote. Where does accuracy come into play? Nowhere. It doesn't even garner a passing mention.
glad to see you know what I'm talking about. You're smart one But this helps proves a point about this thread that it's not this cut and dry.
If you asked who did the most damage it is definitely Fighter A, assuming all punches landed of both fighter's had the same strength and landed on relatively the same area. Since the question is who performed better It should be fighter B since performance takes into account the efficiency. If I am a fighter I would rather fight fighter B, but if I am sick and needed a doctor I would prefer the doctor that was able to save 44% of his patients than that who was able to save 31%. Although I don't think there are doctors that would still have a license with a 31-44% success rate.
I was referring to the article that's talking about how they register punches by power/quality and quantity. Obviously judging accuracy is a factor but the article points out that it's impossible to count every punch that is landed like a computer but judges prefer to judge using mental computer calculating quality and power with quantity rather than sitting there trying to figure out simple punches landed/missed. Meaning the experts judge what they want to regard as good punches landed/missed rather than sit there and suck in what a computer stat is telling you about the round. This judge also says in another article that hes regarded some shots that land on the shoulder as a punch because he didn't deem it defensive and the damage was inflicted affectively.
quantity and quality defines the difference. If you threw 20 shots and landed 20 shots, you are 100 per cent accurate. However you faced an oppenent who threw 60 shots and landed 25, he is less than 50 per cent accurate. Based on ***** logic, the one who landed 20 shots is more impressive. That does not take into the account that those 20 shots are potshots, a "keep them honest shot" not necessarily there to stop the opponent. Whereas the one actually throwing those 60 shots are "hail mary, land wherever you land shot". Of course the one with 20 connects is more impressive based on statistics........ But if I am the boxer, I would rather be the one throwing bombs after bombs and praying that it lands.
atsch You can't ask something like that based solely on stats. Must be a Floyd fan... Watch as ACTUAL FIGHT play out instead then form an educated opinion. And please...don't be bias? It's ****in obivous you are with this thread. :roll:
