    The evidential worth of CompuBox is completely nil, and I don't give a **** what the other judges say when I'm scoring a fight. Maybe one day you'll understand the sport well enough to score a fight all by yourself and not spend so much time relying on crutches to boost the reputation of your favorite fighter.

    Compubox seemed to ignore about 18 right hooks that landed by Pacquiao and over 14 body shots that may have slowed down Marquez later on.

    Meaningless I don't know but yes it does not tell the story as JMM hardly blocked any right hooks. I don't see how u can give the fight to a guy that needed to dominate and got dominated w/ two different hands 8 out of 12 rounds ?

    Oh well life goes on and time will tell, luckily the 'right' fighters hand was raised.
    Horrible corner work by nacho and worse sportsmanship by the always arrogant sore loser Marquez. Fans are a disgrace as well.

    You've lost your fastball dude. Your post-fight trolling performance is almost as disappoiting as Pacquiao's in-ring performance. Maybe read over some boxinger threads to see if you can find inspiration or get the magic back.

    Fair enough...

    Tell them judges you can do better (and compubox) because the scoring didnt suit you "this time"

    You're probably right, I'm sure most self-respecting boxing fans should just be happy to defer to official judges in every circumstance.

    Very much so the southpaw right hook is easily the most missed punch by compubox and the untrained eye. It often looks like it was blocked when it was not. Manny's total should have been much higher.

    Just the way it is for majority of the time. Pretty sure *******s would be singing different tune if compubox didnt favour their fighter.

    Whatever suits them at the time is right and its wrong when it doesnt.

    Punch statistics do not take into account accuracy, timing, and power. They are a tool, a boxing metric, not something to base the entire fight around.

    u just solved it. performance was dissapointing.
    He didnt beat the **** out of marquez so JMM wins.
    New unique way to score a 12 rd fight.

    Add that all punches that are not called jabs are classified as power shots.

    Nah I had Marquez winning because he did more effective work in more rounds than Pacquiao. But that's tangential to the real issue here; I'm concerened about your declining ability to get people riled up. Are you like Pacquiao pursuing too many other interests? Too many distractions away from the board?

    Manny should have gotten the decision last night.

    But :lol: at people who use Compubox as "proof" of it.
