Yesterday we analyzed some numbers, records and statistics about Floyd Mayweather Jr and Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, 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 Canelo through the Compubox Stats. We start to examine their last fight in which both boxers got an unanimous decision win in twelve rounds: Floyd Mayweather Jr vs Robert Guerrero and Saul Alvarez vs Austin Trout.
