What the tool does
Most arguments about a fight start by putting two fighters side by side. The fighter comparison tool sets out their numbers in one table.
You type in the details for each fighter yourself. The tool asks for:
- name
- wins, losses and draws
- wins by knockout
- reach and height, in inches
- age
- recent form, as up to five letters (W, L or D), most recent first
Press Compare Fighters and both fighters appear in a table. The tool works out each one's knockout percentage for you.
The numbers come from what you type in. A fighter's official record is a good place to find them.
Reading the numbers
Height and reach are simple to compare. A four-inch reach advantage means the same whichever fighter has it. It shapes how a fight is likely to go at range.
A record is a different kind of number. A 30-0 record built against modest opposition says less than 30-0 built through world title fights. Who a fighter beat is for you to judge.
Recent form shows how the last few fights went. A loss in the last two can tell you more than a long unbeaten run years ago.
Style and record
Two fighters can have near-identical numbers and fight in completely different ways. Stance, work rate and how a fighter handles pressure don't fit in a table. For those, watch the fights or read the build-up in the articles section.
Using it on an upcoming fight
- Start with height and reach to see the shape of the matchup.
- Look at the level of opposition before you trust a lopsided record.
- Check your numbers against the latest result, since records change fast.
- Keep the fight calendar open for the date and venue.
