Analytical study of the causes of winning and losing according to some technical indicators among young boxers

دراسة تحليلية لأسباب الفوز والخسارة وفقا لبعض المؤشرات الفنية لدى الملاكمين الناشئين

Abstract

Because of the adoption of the rules of the International Boxing Federation new standards based on the objective evaluation of the judge, according to the ten-point system of duty, and this system often caused many problems in differentiating between a winning boxer and a losing one  by coaches or the public. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the reasons for winning and losing according to the  technical indicators. The researchers selected  a set of technical indicators, including: active and inactive duration, types of punches according to their number, single, even and multiple punches, as well as pauses. The researchers selected three weights from the junior boxers to represent the light, medium and heavy weights to conduct the analysis of the match and identify the technical reasons that led to the winning or loss of the boxer. The results also showed that the large number of single punches did not have any direct and clear contribution to achieving winning , unlike double  and multiple punches, which represented an important factor in achieving winning. The results also showed that the weakness of the special endurance led to a decrease in the number of attacks and offensive pressure, as well as the stoppages and some minor technical errors that did not affect the outcome of the fight. Finally, the results showed that the inactive period gives a bad impression to the judges, and thus it is considered one of the reasons for the loss.
