    The made-up stats they spew out certainly push a few buttons!

    First what other useless contributions would you like to make?

    What seems to be a secret YOU didnt unveil and im actually curious About is your opinion on what seems to be an outdated / flawed system used in boxings telecasts.

    Or you can take more time out of your day practicing being a smartass your choice

    Apparently in the eighties, and I don't care how perfect your vision is. It's more like judging then something objective. The only way a human can definitively log every punch landed is slowmotion and instant replay

    If you wanna read about the history of compubox get The Ring Magazine with Raushee Warr3n and two other Olympians on the cover, it goes into detail about it.

    I didn't and I've been a fan for a while. I think alot of people dont bother to find out how compubox works. The COMPU prefix implys cold hard electronic sensory, completely misleading

    I get what your saying but corrupt or not the way it's set up is just another misleading aspect of pro fights to turn off a fan, that **** cannot be 100% accurate so scrap it

    If the Koreans wanted to rob him compubox wouldn't do anything I guess

    Do they divide it by two in the end? Wouldn't one really good one be enough?

    Modern age, huh.
    The 'compu' prefix must surely imply the verb "to compute" (hence the term "computer"), which simply means "to count" :roll:

    Yup and each just counts one boxer's punches. That makes it a bit easier.

    The difference is, it ain't that hard to see when floyd lands a punch as he rarely throws in combo's and usually when he does it's a sharp punch that lands right on the target and jolts your head back.

    Pac on the other hand throws 5-6 punches a time and it is very difficult to see which ones landed and which ones didn't.

    I think you are seeing my point.

    Also with floyd defence it is so good that many punches that land on him are actually landing on his gloves elbows, arms that it really is hard for their opponent to land effectively on him consistently.

    Pac on the other hand defence sucks, so we can clearly see when an opponent lands on him.
