One day perhaps we will get a full summary report of what happened in the ring. Instead of thotal amount of punches thrown and landed, how about this! 1 ) Total amount of slips, ducks, and blocks 2 ) Total amount of hooks thrown 3 ) Total amount of in-punches thrown 4 ) Total amount of out punches thrown 5 ) Total amount of upper cuts thrown 6 ) Total amount of clinches You get the idea
Perhaps we will. What we might never get though is what is most important: an account of how hard, clean or effective a punch is. Saying a punch was a jab or a hook or an uppercut etc. tells us very little about how to assess it in boxing criteria terms.
