Personally, I never put a lot of stock in the overall rating. There's so many ways to get to a particular number--control, punches landed, power, defense, etc. I take them as a rough indicator of overall ability but see them far from all-determining.

I've been playing variations of this Trunzo-template game for close to thirty-five years, and I'm never surprised when a 7 ranked fighter beats out a 9. It's rather common when the lower ranked boxer has a strong punch and the higher rated is cursed with a weak chin.
