How bad were the three main fights this weekend (Saul "Canelo" Alvarez's win over William Scull in Saudi Arabia and the final two fights on the big Times Square show from New York City)? According to Compubox, which has been tracking fights for about forty years, Canelo's 152-punch output over twelve rounds was the lowest total Compubox has ever recorded for a winning fighter. Devis Boschiero threw fewer punches in a 2106 loss to Mario Barrios, but Boschiero lost 120-107 on all three scorecards. Here are the lowest punch outputs Compubox has recorded in tweve round fights:
130- Devis Boschiero (vs. Mario Barrios)
152 - Canelo Alvarez (vs. William Scull)
154- Malik Scott (vs. Luis Ortiz)
170- David Haye (vs. Nicolai Valuev).
