Let’s face it, no rating system or ranking list is perfect, not even the one used here at Fight Matrix. There are varying perspectives, varying protocols and complex calculations (well, at least here) at play. Where the media lists and personal lists suffer, which is in the realm of lacking knowledge and bias — we […]

Its been a while since I’ve posted about boxing, but just recently, I did an analysis based on reach measurements. I researched all the way back to the beginnings of boxing, to determine whether or not the boxer with the longer reach won much more often. I discovered that a boxer with any reach advantage […]

Everyone has varying opinions as to whether or not a boxer (or fighter) can rebound from a knockout loss. We know it happens, but how often?
