    Its inaccurate and misleading.

    I was watching a round where I felt Pascal was dominating but then HBO showed compubox stats towards the end that Dawson landed more shots in the round as if to sway the viewer to give the round to Dawson.

    At the end of the night it showed Dawson throwing and landing more punches than Pascal trying to mislead that it was atleast a close fight when it clearly wasnt.

    And frankly Im sick of people using compubox stats to justify their ridiculous scorecards (more notably the Alexander/Kotelnik fight)

    Also there are bozos who believe compubox is tabulated by high-tech computer lasers that tracks whenever a punch is thrown and/or lands by a fighter. When they dont realize that its tabulated by humans who have their own biases and own errors.

    I have thought this for AWHILE.
    Go look at the people who have contracts with HBO and listen to the commentators and the CompU Box #'s They always lean towards the contracted fighter.

    Look at Kotelnik Vs Alexander ...
    EVEN though CUB had Kotelnik out landing Alexander he lost but the CUB #'s weren't as despairing as I had them.

    Numerous other fights were I am
    like WTF are these people saying? Are they watching the fight?

    I love how Compubox is quoted when it favors a preferred boxer (see PBF, Pac, etc). But when it goes against their views, it is evil.

    I agree with the compubox cause i thought Dawson landed more but that don't win you the fight. I had Dawson losing the fight anyway before the head clash that stop the fight. I really believe in my heart that Pascal got a lucky break.

    Compubox is nothing but biased humans trying to sway the viewers for the HBO fighter. I had Pascal winning almost every round, except a couple.

    they should atleast wait til the end of the fight to show the stats so it doesnt sway the viewer cause landing the most punches oesnt mean u won the fight. i had it 6 to 5 pascual i do think dawson woul win a rematch

    I disagree. That treat viewers like little babies. Other sports are able to deal with real time raw stats. Why can't boxing viewers?

    As Swarmer say. It is RAW stats. It is not Compubox fault if people do not understand it or abuse it or misuse it.

    The people controlling Compubox are biased. It's not a computer doing it, it's biased humans who have an agenda.

    I muted a fight, counted the punches myself, and was surprised at how different I had it that Compubox.

    Compubox should not be taken seriously.

    I think it used to be somewhat like the Olympics, people pushing buttons on each side of ring, but could have changed. Hell, I can see better on TV screen. Ever watch a fight at ringside? There are blind spots, lots of blind spots.
