HOW DO I READ THIS COMPARISON?

THIS IS NOT A REAL FIGHT CARD

Compare builds a model fight and a Fight Simulator from tape stats: record, KO rate, reach, last five, and age. Not three officials, and not what happened in a ring. Open a pair from Compare.

LEFT AND RIGHT

Left is always the first fighter. Right is always the second. Big totals, names, and round scores keep that order. 115–118 means the fighter on the left has 115 and the fighter on the right has 118.

THE CARD

On a past fight, THE CARD is the official result: method, winner, and judges' scores when we have them. The official winner stays on top even if the model disagrees. A disagreement is labeled TAPE, not a second winner.

On Compare for a fight that has not happened, there is no official card yet.

THE MODEL FIGHT

Under the tape is a 12-round model from the same stats. If one fighter's knockout rate is high enough above the other, it stops by KO, TKO, or RTD (quit on the stool). A KO or TKO in round 5 scores rounds 1–4. RTD 5 means they finished round 5 and did not come out for 6.

THE FIGHT SIMULATOR

Below the model fight on a comparison page. Scroll to Fight Simulator on /compare/canelo-alvarez-vs-terence-crawford. Run starts 10,000 seeded fights from the same tape stats.

WHAT THIS IS NOT

Neither the model fight nor the simulator is a prediction of a real judge or a betting pick. The Fight Simulator is 10,000 seeded fights from the tape, not an official result.
