    That's how Mayweather beat Maidana and Thurman/Porter.

    Accurate punching should always take priority over "work rate". 100%.

    Whoever lands the most punches wins, Porter landed one more punch, he wins.:deal

    Porter was too sloppy to win, effective clean punching rules the day

    40 punches landed with 90 thrown should triumph over 30 punches landed and 40 thrown. Always.

    What if the 30/40 punches are noticeably cleaner and more damaging than the 40/90?

    I agree with the point Reg makes but would qualify it better - ie that if the punches are equivalent the greater number landed should win.

    Thurman was gettin hit alot though he mightve landed the nicer punches but he was getting beat up in there at times. Fight was a draw for me
