    Compubox is wrong most of the time. I have counted the punches myself in slow motion and found that out..............those who do the counting are biased..........

    In the right context those stats can be useful but they have to be applied correctly and in accordance with how a fight pans out

    Two unqualified people watching the fight on TV and pressing buttons? Not interested in the slightest. I mean how the hook can they tell it's a power punch?

    any sport that is judged has to be rife with corruption and terrible decisions. i.e. ice skating, gymnastics, etc. it is usually almost impossible for the darlings to lose.

    Compubox is there to influence opinion of casuals. I don't pay any attention to it,

    That's not very thought through some fighters bruise easier then others and it's easier to see if they get bruised if you are for example white due to the contrast of the skin towards the brusing.

    i like it as a way of separating a dead even round for me. but i almost always disagree with how many punches landed for both guys comparing the compubox numbers

    You don't make sense. You acknowledge that you usually disagree with it, but you use it to seperate a close round.

    Give me one example of a fight you personally counted and found the compubox not in alignment with yours.

    Yes and no. I trust my eyes more but Compubox is not without some value.

    Compubox is an interesting system, but in no way shape or form should be used to determine the winner of a fight.

    Nothing is better than the actual eye of any LEGIT person scoring fights of SEEING what punches land and ones that dont!

    Compubox is two guys pressing buttons whenever they want to. Compubox doesnt mean ****.

    Compubox is only meaningful once you have lots of fight of a boxer, then you can get useful information about him. But in a single combat compubox is sh´t.

    We certainly shouldn't care about 2 morons that press the button once they think the punch landed

    Punchstats are used to explain robberies.
    Look at Canelo vs Lara.
    Ni gga didn't land half those body punches.
