Also, dont forget that the punches landed stats doesnt tell the whole story. If Williams hits you on the arm or shoulder then it counts as a blow that didnt land but a person still adds that up if you watch it. Its like a trainer telling a brawler to "keep touchin him. Arms, shoulders, or whatever. You'll break him down eventually".
I didnt think a prime Margarito had a chance in hell of beating Floyd but alot of people did. Now even the biggest Margarito fans know that the punch stat numbers would be totally lopsided in terms of percentage but they figure Margarito is going to throw way more and he's going to "keep touchin Floyd" and eventually it will offset Floyd's tremendous accuracy advantage.
If 20 seconds go by and Williams has thrown 25 punches and Lara has thrown 7, it adds up even if the accuracy is there. I also dont recommend anyone watching fihgts with the volume down. You still want to hear the sound of the punches & action period. You just have to be mentally strong enough to tune the commentators out and make your own decision
