How did you all score the Mbilli vs. Martinez fight?
I understand that CompuBox numbers don’t determine the outcome of a fight, but the punch stats were pretty staggering. Martinez landed 412 of 980 total punches, while Mbilli connected on 273 of 787.
What really stands out is the way the judges scored certain rounds. One gave Mbilli the 7th, another the 9th, and one the 10th. Yet according to CompuBox, Martinez outlanded Mbilli by 18 punches in the 7th, and in both the 9th and 10th rounds Martinez more than doubled Mbilli’s landed punches—connecting at over 50% accuracy.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years, it’s to trust my first instinct when it comes to picking fights. From the moment I heard talk of a potential matchup between Canelo and Crawford, my gut told me the size difference would be too much.
Crawford has only fought once at 154 and now he’s jumping up 14 pounds to challenge Canelo at one of his most natural and comfortable weights.
Is Crawford the more fundamentally sound fighter? Absolutely. But let’s not act like Canelo doesn’t have elite boxing skills of his own.
Stylistically, Canelo’s size, power, and iron chin make him the natural bully in this fight. If he were more of a pure boxer, I’d lean toward Crawford.
My biggest question is how much hunger Canelo still has at this stage of his career. That, to me, is the X-factor.
With so many boxing breakdown channels emerging, it’s only right that smaller channels like mine find a creative lane of our own.
That’s why I’m starting a new series called “DEVELOPMENT.”
Too often we only focus on the final product, but in this series I’ll be tracking emerging contenders & champions, highlighting what they change or fix from fight to fight.
We’ll kick things off with a Cuban contender in the light heavyweight division… stay tuned.

I’ll be the first to admit I favored Canelo too much on his size.
This victory just changed the dynamic of match making for this generation.
There’s no more excuses.
Bud Crawford is the greatest boxer of this era.

Still, when it’s all said and done…
Canelo by decision.

Damn Whyte… I was trying to get at least 3 rounds of of you to make a decent breakdown.
About to see how creative I can be with 1:45 of footage 🥶
