While Manny Pacquiao landed a career low (81 punches) in a twelve round fight, this past Saturday night against Floyd Mayweather Jr. at the MGM Grand, Floyd didn't exactly blow up the CompuBox computer in his decision win either. His 148 landed punches are the fewest he's landed in 18 of his fights that went the 12-round distance. Previous low: 157, vs. Castillo I. Pacquaio also threw a career low 429 punches for a twelve round fight.
