Martinez says he will KO Frampton

[Fenster]

I like Frampton rounds 7-12 @ 3/1 doubled with Selby rounds 7-12 @ 7/2 (ladcrooks)

Frampton PTS @ 7/4 (saver)

3/1 is good odds considering. Probably stick a few on that.

I thought Frampton looked bigger but Kiko looked like he could smash through walls. Frampton will be under it early doors.

Yh, probably, I still think Frampton will stop him.

They're talking about Kiko's power but look at the stats.

Kiko's KO ratio : 66.33%
Carl's KO ratio : 66.67%

Speaks volumes.

Martinez has double carls fights though with 30.

I agree with you regarding the fight outcome.

However,

Those stats are borderline useless. As you've addressed - Martinez has double the fights... plus fought a higher level of competition and they share no common opponent (I haven't checked that). Stats are a good guide to solving puzzles, especially where gambling is concerned, but can be virtually ignored when it comes to boxing.

Maybe when the stats are this close. But if its Kerry Hope vs Macklin, Barker or Murray then I think those stats tell it all.

But I agree in this fight, it's useless, just my fascination with statistics. I blame Gary Lineker.

I'm fascinated with stats when it comes to lots of sports, especially Horse Racing and Snooker, but boxing stats are virtually pointless because fighters basically only ever meet once and comparable form is very sparse.

You match a fighter with a 100% KO ratio against one with 0%. They've never fought the same opposition. They share zero collateral form. How can we possibly be certain the fighter with a 100% KO record is the harder pucher? The 0% fighter could have fought a bunch of iron jaws, or simply mixed at a much higher level. That's boxing.
