Compubox has the fight a draw.
Oh FFS! What a fûckîng silly claim!
Not a claim a fact . Anyone can view the stats
Depends how you analyse the stats though doesn't it?
Parker out-landed Joshua 52 to 46 in power punches (thats six punches over 12 rounds), but his accuracy was only 30% compared to 40% for Joshua. He was also out-jabbed by 93 to 49 and again was less accurate than Joshua (15.5% to 34.4%).
If you think that constitutes a draw then that's fine. I don't think out-landing your opponent by
six power punches is enough to claim you've earned a draw. Boxers should be scored on
effective aggression, not just flinging in hundreds of punches that don't land.

Compubox doesn't decide who wins or loses bouts. All it does is provide stats, which fail to account for numerous factors.
You won't find a single person that frequents this forum claiming that they can be used to determine the outcome of bouts.
And for the record, Compubox stats are an approximation, since they're gathered by humans.
You simply can't claim that they're factually accurate, because they aren't... and you'll struggle to find anyone claiming otherwise.

After studying compubox stats it’s definitely clear that the judges were biased. The ref changed the course of the fight as well .
But it was a DRAW.
Parker threw more punches , he landed more power punches .
Joshua won if you just count jabs landed.
But this just showed me that Fury will beat Joshua easily just flicking out light jabs for 12.rounds
i for one do not believe compustats offer
much evidence for judging a fight. the
number of punches is interesting but
nothing more.
