2 Star RatingReview by AllTheBestFights.com: 2015-04-24, disappointing finish between Ben Askren and Luis Santos: it gets two stars.

The undefeated former Bellator Ww champion Ben Askren entered this fight with a perfect mma record of 14-0-0 (57% finishing rate) and he is ranked as the No.13 welterweight in the world; he fought twice last year beating Bakhtiyar Abbasov (=Askren vs Abbasov) and Nobutatsu Suzuki (fight in which he won the One Fc title, Askren vs Suzuki).
His opponent, the black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu Luis ‘Sapo’ Santos, has an official record of 61-9-1 (77% finishing rate) and he entered as the No.54 in the same weight class. He suffered two consecutive losses between 2011 and 2012, against Ben Saunders (=Saunders vs Santos) and Ryan Ford (=Ford vs Santos), but since then he has won seven times beating Bakhtiyar Abbasov in his last bout. Askren vs Santos, main event of One FC 26, is valid for the ONE FC welterweight title (Askren’s first defense). Watch the video and rate this fight!

BOXING News – Mayweather vs Pacquiao: 5 common opponents CompuBox Stats comparison

mayweather-vs-pacquiao-official-poster-2015-05-02

Yesterday we analyzed some numbers, records and statistics about Floyd Mayweather Jr and Manny Pacquiao, but in the sweet science the most important things are punches. So today, as we promised in the previous post, we want to compare Floyd and Pac-Man through the Compubox Stats. We start to examine their last fight in which both boxers got an unanimous decision win in twelve rounds and then we analyze five opponents they had in common: Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Juan Manuel Marquez, Shane Mosley and Miguel Cotto.

Mayweather and Pacquiao’s last fight

CompuBox Statistics Mayweather vs Maidana 2 UD12 Pacquiao vs Algieri UD12
punches thrown 326 669

punches thrown x round 27,16 55,75
punches landed x round 13,83 19,08
punches “eaten” x round 10,66 9

As you can see, Pacquiao performed better than Mayweather in their last fight (except for the accuracy): Manny threw more punches and he even ate less shots than Floyd. The problem is that Maidana and Algieri are obviously two different boxers, so in the next tables you can compare Mayweather and Pacquiao with the same opponents.
