    People should check out the CompuBox stats also, think some would be quite surprised.

    At a quick glance, RP landed more power shots in 7 of the 12 rounds and he landed more jabs in 11 out of the 12 rounds (Which I was shocked with).

    Both had a similar connect percentage, Taylor landed slightly more power shots % wisw but landed less power shots overall by about 10. RP Threw and landed almost twice as many jabs.

    The power punch stats round by round pretty much follow my scoring.

    Scored Rds 1-4 to RP, Rd5 I felt was even but gave it to JT.

    Rd6-7 & 9-10: Gave to JT.

    Rd 8, 11 & 12 I gave to RP.

    So I had 7-5 to RP but can see a draw also or 7-5 Taylor at a push for me. Not sure how some people gave Taylor 8 rounds though.

    I'd like to see a rematch at some point in the near future, I don't think it will happen unfortunately which would be a shame as it was a brilliant fight.

    I picked Prograis to win based on limited viewing of Taylor. I also agree with MOST of your post. However, I 100% disagree with your claim that Taylor had a lot of help. Taylor won that fight fair and square, comfortably too. They could’ve fought that fight in New Orleans and the result would’ve been the same. Prograis does deserve a rematch though, after Taylor and Ramirez completely unify the titles.
