Typical number of punches per round?

[DD The Pumpkin King]

Just curious. I don't know how long it's been there but I found the info section after my 3 rds today showing off numbers (total punches thrown, landed, jabs, power punches) which I thought was really cool because I was thinking before it would be nice to have that.

Does any one have some numbers to compare to? Part of building hand speed and stamina is simply throwing more punches so I'm looking to figure out what the upper limits of that might look like?

Oh I should mention I always run with 5 minute rounds. Today was just a normal day, no specifics, just breaking a sweat.

5 minute rounds
Round 1-515 punches
Round 2-437 punches
Round 3- 237= knocked the Ai out.

In a real boxing match, you'd likely see 30 punches or less from a boxer during a 3 minute round where one or both boxers are trying to slow things down. In a more aggressive match, you might see 100 punches or more.

TotF will likely have the AI within that range, but just due to the way things work the player will probably exceed those numbers. It's just easier to sneak lots of extra punches in against the AI than in real life, especially without a whole boxing ring and less evasive movement from the AI.

Exactly how many you land, though, is largely going to depend on your play style. If you're trying to maximize cardio and keep your punch output high, then you'll easily reach over 100 punches in a 3 minute round (or more than 500 punches in a 5 minute round in your case! ). I would be surprised to see a player who is playing it slow and hunting for clean open shots to only have a few dozen punches landed, though.

One other thing I want to note. If you were to compare your results to a real boxing punch stat card, you'll see 3 of the 4 sections line up - jabs, power punches, and total punches. The remaining stat shown in TotF, "Damaging Punches", is there to specifically show you how many of your hits the judges found impressive enough to give you credit for. You'll notice this will account for most of the AI's punches and probably a lesser percentage than theirs for yours. This is what keeps the AI competitive on scoring despite the higher average punch output from the player. The AI can't hit for a higher max force than the player is capable of, but they do consistently hit hard.

How do you manage to average 100 punches a minute?!? oO;

I do 5 x 3 minute rounds with everyone at 105% chin. I'll be moving everyones stats across the board to 105% (chin, dodge etc) soon though.

I average about 120-140 punches per round. Most of my fights don't go past round 3 but that'll change as I up their stats. Like Ian said I'm trying to get to less punches (I throw a lot of jabs) and more focused combos. Sometimes I can destroy joe with about 30 (or under) punches total (usually in round 1). It feels like I'm being ultra precise and focusing completely on my feet and hips to really get that form the way I want it.

When I get tired and worked on I start to loosen up and get sloppy. That's when I get to the 140s per round. Which leaves me pretty gassed.

Edit: video proof (starts at 0:59):

Looks like I was around 35 for this fight with Joe. My glove phased out (tracking issue) but I counted it too. Sometimes we go 2-3 rounds he and I. Sometimes It's like the example above.

I practiced 4-5 punch combos for sets of reps years ago when I started boxing. After a certain amount of time I figured out how to throw it quickly with power. Stuff like that it's not hard to build up the punch count ^_^

Thats just the speed. Rest is just cardio. Aside from jabs, everything is stepping or full body punches.

I normally do 6 rounds with the AI on 105% and a 10 knock down limit so the fight doesn't end soon. Though sometimes they just stay down. I'm average between 160 and 200 punches per round. 6x3minute rounds with a 1 minute rest period. Keep working at it and you will see your numbers go up.
