He kept the incredible 116 accurate shots Kubrat Pulev in his knockout loss to Anthony Joshua in LondonAccording to the statistics of the specialized site Compubox, whose data is used by the best televisions and boxing programs in the world, he writes “24 hours”.

Of the 9 rounds without two seconds that the Cobras were in the ring, Joshua mostly used his straight shots. In fact, they were 62.9% of the total. The Englishman had used more (72.3%) only in the rematch against Andy Ruiz Jr., when he regained the titles in the super heavyweight category. In the previous 10 games, Joshua had used the fastball for 52.3% of his shots.

However, the Briton’s superiority in accurate shots is impressive, as he is almost three times better in this regard there. In total for the match, the Briton has inflicted much more powerful blows than the Bulgarian. More fiercely, Joshua attacked his opponent in the third and ninth rounds, who really decided the match. In the third he has 27 against only two of his rival, which meant two falls for the Bulgarian.

In fact, according to Dillian White, who commented on the game on the BBC, just at that moment the referee had to call the game over. As he rose from the ring, the Cobra headed to his corner, not center, to continue.

“In this situation, it’s a classic knockout, while your opponent is right. The referee just had to keep counting. At that point, the game was over.”

In the ninth round, when the third knockdown came and finally the knockout, Joshua made 25 shots to 5 for the Cobras. In fact, the Bulgarian has only one round in which he recorded more shots than his opponent, and this is the sixth. There the advantage is 8: 6 in our favor.

This is a bit surprising, because most of the specialists who followed the result live gave Pulev the only advantage in the eighth round, when statistically the blows were 15: 3 in favor of his opponent. However, all three were much better than Joshua’s.

This was exactly the tactic for the Bulgarian’s match, because it was known in advance that Joshua got tired after the middle of the match. However, the Cobra lost so many points that at one point he decided to risk it all to seek a knockout. And then he met Joshua’s fists.

Pulev could not find a hole in the defense of his rival, who had an advantage in height. It even became clear at one point that Cobra’s trainer ordered him to stop standing alone in front of his opponent, but instead try to get closer to him.
