At the last second, Floyd seems to just get himself out of harms way either by slipping, rolling or parrying. If anyone can, look at the combination from Oscar with around 1 minute left in round 9 as an example in slo-mo. He throws around 8 punches and misses with every one of them! You would be sure he connected in real time, especially with the crowd going insane, but Floyd actually successfully avoids every one of them!
Floyd's misses were a lot easier to pick up on because he was not really throwing combinations, just single shots.
so they way mayweather's head snaps back is just mayweather making his head snap back, just like ur suggesting right
Do you mind showing me where I said that?
Sure, Floyd was caught on occasions. I was just saying that a lot of the combinations from Oscar that had the crowd and the UK TV commentators going into a frenzy with excitement, for the most part weren't even landing at all.
As for Compubox...
As has been said, Compubox is just a couple of guys pressing buttons at ringside... they are human like everyone else... and they have pockets like everyone else.
They will never be 100% reliable in my eyes.
They are succeptable to corruption, just like judges.
They have a habit of handing out the 'overall' punch stats and then people base their opinions off that. For the home viewers, if you are judging a fight the way it SHOULD be judged, overall punch stats are pretty much worthless.
As I have watched the fight more closely now, I have Floyd winning by more than the two rounds that I originally thought, so I think Compubox have the stats roughly right on this occasion. However, I have seen fights before were the 'overall' punch stats painted a completely different picture to the painting of the fight itself.
