Compubox is a Bunch of Crap

If you weren't already one of my favorite posters, this would have sealed it.

I'm also on page 3 of the Monzon article, if Nick Saban pulls his thumb out of his ass, I'll finish it here in a few.

 

Its is crap, people dont seem to realize the punch stats are tracked by humans with human biases.

 

True. That's why Jim Lampley loves it so much. His self respect flew out the window the day he sgned with the devil..... HBO.

Apparently they took his eyesight too because he can't see ****! :shock: In fact, I'm starting to wonder whether the Compubox stats are run by Lampley himself.

 

Agreed. I've never had confidence in them.

 

anyone who goes by this is a moron.atsch

 

Usually compubox follows whos winning the fight. The only time I really had a problem with compubox was the Calzaghe vs Hopkins fight.

 

Someone explain how compubox works please

 

Its almost as bad as olympic scoring

 

no way

calzaghe won that fight ... definatly

 

I hate olympic scoring, it ruined last years games. i watched every U.S fight and even when they dominated the lost

 

When did you figure that out?

 

Hopkins outlanded him in my opinion. I think i could count on my two hands how many punches joe landed in the first 7 rounds.

 

I took a tape of a fight and checked out the number of punches shown by compubox, counted the punches myself, compubox appears to be biased toward the house boxer. Do it sometime and see.

 

most overrated stat IMO....many things can challenge the fallacy that "the fighter who lands more punches should win"

-knockdowns can make compubox irrelevant
-judging has a strong emphasis on effective clean punches, not just pitty pats
-and a fighter can land a significant amount of punches in one round
-fights are judged by a round to round basis
