U-GOT IT

According to CompuBox, the Filipino boxing icon threw 815 punches, compared to Ugas' 405. 

It meant he was twice as active, but was 21 per cent less accurate. 

Ugas landed with 37 per cent of his punches, totalling 151 over 12 rounds, while Pacquiao finished with only 130, equalling 16 per cent. 

Most importantly for the champion was his jab, which helped establish dominance in the battle between southpaw and orthodox. 

Ugas landed 50 of the 234 he threw, with an accuracy rate of 21 per cent. 

For Pacquiao, he found home with 42 of the 475 thrown, meaning he connected with just nine per cent of his lead southpaw jabs.
