Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte: Punching statistics

Tyson Fury’s dominance over Dillian Whyte was clear for all to see in last night’s fight.

His comprehensive win was sealed in the sixth round thanks to a knockout from a perfectly struck uppercut.

The superiority of Fury also shows up starkly in the punching statistics that can be seen below, as per CompuBox and Boxing Scene.

In truth, it really does make for grim reading for Whyte, who only managed to land a measly 29 punches compared to Fury’s 76.

On every measure, Fury comes out on top.

High volume, accurate and with venom. He outscores him in jabs 29-8 as his greater reach allowed him to control the gap between them. Whyte attempted 72 jabs, and so to land with just over 10% is not going to cut it, not in a world title fight.

The first round was quiet as both fighters felt each other out. Fury perhaps taking things a little slow after Whyte unexpectedly came out fighting in a Southpaw stance.

From that point, though, Fury dialled up the intensity and started to throw more punches, and in particular those power punches, and as the landed percentages show, he was selective with when he used these and invariably landed them.

Tyson Fury had the game plan to defeat his shorter, slower and vastly inferior opponent and he executed it to perfection.

His dominance can be seen from the visuals, from the stats and from the crumpled heap left behind on the canvas.

Fury landed 76 shots in the fight, and he saved the best for last, an uppercut flush on the chin, and that’s all she wrote.
