Break a bout down like a punch-stats analyst
Television broadcasts cite CompuBox numbers because raw punch counts tell a story: who pressed the action, who landed cleanly, and who built behind the jab. This calculator lets you record punches thrown and landed for each round of a fight and rolls them into the same headline figures — total output, landing accuracy, and the jab versus power split.
How it works
For each round you supply punches thrown and landed. The tool aggregates across all rounds and computes:
total thrown = sum of thrown across rounds
total landed = sum of landed across rounds
accuracy % = total landed / total thrown × 100
avg per round = total thrown / number of rounds
jab/power split= sum of jabs landed vs sum of power landed
Landed punches can optionally be tagged as jabs or power shots per round. The split percentages are computed against total landed, so they tell you what share of clean punches were stinging jabs versus heavier scoring blows.
Worked example: 10-round fight
| Round | Thrown | Landed | Jabs | Power |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 60 | 18 | 10 | 8 |
| 2 | 65 | 20 | 12 | 8 |
| 3 | 58 | 15 | 9 | 6 |
| 4 | 70 | 24 | 14 | 10 |
| Total | 253 | 77 | 45 | 32 |
- Accuracy = 77 / 253 × 100 ≈ 30.4%
- Jab share = 45 / 77 × 100 ≈ 58% of landed punches
- Power share = 32 / 77 × 100 ≈ 42% of landed punches
This profile — moderate output, solid accuracy, jab-heavy — is characteristic of a technical outboxer. A high-volume aggressor would show more thrown per round and often lower accuracy.
Reading the numbers
Accuracy: Elite professional fighters typically land between 25% and 40% of total punches. Sustained accuracy above 40% usually indicates either careful shot selection (counter-punchers) or a dominant positional advantage. Very high thrown with low accuracy is a volume-fighter profile; lower output with higher accuracy is a precision-fighter profile.
Output per round: Many pros throw 40–70 punches per round in a structured performance. Volume fighters exceeding 80–100 per round are usually sacrificing some accuracy for pressure and pace. Low output can also reflect legitimate defensive work or holding — raw thrown count does not capture defensive contributions.
Jab vs. power split: A high jab percentage indicates the fighter controlled range and distance and used the jab to set up power shots or accumulate points. A power-heavy split suggests a fighter who abandoned the jab and traded on power, which is higher risk but can score cleanly on the judges’ cards when it lands.
Limitations of punch stats
Punch statistics describe activity, not effectiveness. A score does not capture: ring generalship, effective defence and slipping, body shot impact, or the difference between a flush clean punch and a glancing blow. Judges weight all of these factors in addition to clean punching, so a fighter with superior punch stats may still lose a close decision.
