Why has the KO% changed from being the % of KOs in all of a boxer's career whether he wins/loses/draws, to only being measured based on how many KOs he has in his wins? It now makes boxers' power seem greater than it is and is therefore inaccurate. If a boxer has 10 wins and 5 of those wins are by ...

So one win, one ko would be 100% but could have 20 losses. :witzend: Exactly. It's an absurd statistic when you put it like that. The stat is rendered completely useless. It gives the impression a fighter is a big puncher when in reality his KO% would be 5% if he has 21 fights and only won 1 by KO....

And that's why this was on a Thursday night.

LOL at people thinking this is a real fight and Fury's putting everything into it. There's a script you morons. Ah, the hope of Fury Fanbois. :OhYes: Engage brain, idiot. Ngannou has never fought a professional boxing match his entire life but he's able to go 10 rounds and possibly beat the best HW...

Sometimes it’s fairly obvious, like Vasiliy Lomachenko getting roughed up in his admittedly hard debut, but then any so called weakness was quickly corrected in future fights. For natural people such rapid transformations are impossible. I think British boxers has its fair share of stand out amateu...

Calzaghe by late stoppage. The speed would be too much. And contrary to what people always believed about JC, he did have power. Lol don’t be ridiculous 😂😂😂😂😂 Glass Hands Joe Calslappy stopping Canelo who’s never been hurt……😂😂😂😂 Posters seem to be seriously overrating Joe who was very good but tryi...

How is boxing "multicultural"? It's just two men punching each other in the head. Multiracial, sure. But multicultural? How?

Yawn.

Ian John Lewis is one of the worst referees of all time. His performance in the Vitali vs Briggs fight was so bad HE should be accused of racism.

It would be quite a turn around, considering Joyce is 37 and the fight will only have been 5 months ago. Presumably some of those 5 months were spent resting up and recovering. I can’t see him having anything new to offer. Busted up again and probable retirement? Small chance Zhang turns up fat and...

He did against Dubois.

Dubois who was leathered around the ring by Kevin lerena Because of a freak injury and STILL he KO'd Lerena. He's better than Zhang? You mean the Zhang who lost to Hrgovic? That Zhang? See? We can both do this. Hrgovic is absolutely awful. On what planet exactly? All planets. Usyk is not a KO guy b...

Is the KO ratio different now in that it only calculates the KO % of wins rather than of all fights (wins, losses & draws)?

AA doesn't have another gear, like the commentators said.

I want to say Eubank wins this, keeps Smith off with the jab and crashes in some right hands. I’d fancy his to turn the tables, but there’s that uncertainty over how much that mad weight cut for eggsBennedict has done for him. Like it did for Roy. Hopefully not and he’s still got it. I certainly ho...

Jnr certainly looked much better at the weigh in He's got the devil in his eyes for this fight. No doubt He looks exactly the same as the first weigh in. :lol: He'd delusional. He's never had a trainer and can't settle with one. Bringing in Bomac just demonstrates how simple-minded he is. He thinks...

Than when? The first fight? He looks the same. In fact I'd say he looked better in the first weigh in (less drained).

DDD just got floored three times in the first round by a South African cruiserweight. What tonight ? 😂 Yes I did note that one , bit of an odd one with a leg injury going on as well tho wasn't it ? . The first knockdown was a punch direct to the frontal lobe, He got hit with it and went down. He go...

Joe is going to get mullered again. That's merely your opinion but you can't provide an analysis, which proves you have no idea what you're talking about. Why are you stating it as a fact? Go put all the money you have on Zhang winning by stoppage again, if you're so confident. Of course you won't,...

Joyce is nearly forty. If he hasn't learned how to move his head or keep a high guard by now he won't have learned how to in the past few months. He boxed fine against Dubois, who's better than Zhang. The Zhang fight wasn't Joyce anywhere near his best. He's more than capable of beating Zhang. Anyo...

Yep, I've thought the very same. I see his eye closing early, him given too much leeway by the ref and getting kayoed when it's closed. I think you both might be right. I hope Joyce is able to tighten his defence up and apply educated pressure on Zang and stop him in the second half of the fight, b...

Spence looks a bit haggard.
