Compubox is manipulated, should be canned

Compubox was once again totally manipulated by HBO, the dude behind the machine counted 161 Shane Mosley punches landed while it was 93 on Sergio Mora's side. That's not the fight that I saw, therefore I'm calling for anyone who had Mosley winning to count HALF of 161 = 80,5 punches landing by Mosley (and I mean LANDING) as I don't believe he even landed HALF of the reported amount. The system totally failed once more, so did Herold Lederman, Mora clearly outlanded Mosley and bested him in 12 rounds, but HBO that "loves Mosley" (quote from Merchant) told the viewer a different story, and guess what, several posters here simply repeat what they heard or read on screen.

Believe your own eyes and rewatch the fight without sound and looking at Compubox updates, and you'll see Mora clearly doing the clean effective punching in the entire 12 rounds. Please read my post-Dawson analysis before reply:

Just a few weeks after the Alexander-Kotelnik disgrace where the Compubox system very clearly came up with unrealistic punch stats in favor of the HBO fighter, the Dawson-Pascal bout also featured stats clearly differing from reality.

"Compubox" has nothing to do with computers, it's some dude pushing buttons whenever he sees a "jab" or "power punch" landing, but "landing" is not only subjective, but it's very easy to manipulate - and it is clearly being manipulated today. It is an HBO founded system and it's doesn't even sound shocking that they'd use their own system on their on shows to make their own fighters look better, manipulating the stats could be considered as "smart business move." I defended Compubox as a system of at least roughly putting the fight into numbers that could be used in career-perspective (like how Hopkins' stats changed during the last decade), but to be used as an argument of who won, it is totally unreliable.

I dare to say Kotelnik landed at least 1,5 times the punches Alexander did, and in the first few rounds in the Dawson-Pascal fight which saw Pascal regularly scoring and Dawson having little success, Compubox was so off that even HBO employee Jim Lampley mentioned that the system might be having an off night, because it's not showing the fight he was watching. According to Compubox, Pascal (who won most of the rounds and clearly scored with the better punches all night except one big Dawson flurry before the 11th and the 11th), the system somehow saw Dawson throwing more punches, landing more punches (!) and landing at a higher connect %. Saw what? Clearly manipulated. The fight that I saw once again was dominated by the non-HBO guy, and regardless of the official judges - we are talking about Compubox only - the system showed that it's completely useless.

Another problem with HBO's manipulative system that one thing leads to another: Harold Lederman always uses Compubox to justify his scores to the public even if it is way off. There were rounds completely dominated by Kotelnik that Compubox saw as even and Lederman gave it to the HBO fighter, like he gave the 2nd round to Dawson. You could hear Lampley's disbelief as he asked just how the hell Harold gave that one to Chad, then when closer rounds came Lederman quickly gave Pascal a bunch as if "correcting" himself.

This is pro boxing not amateur, as a non-manipulated system Cumpubox would be an interesting statistic, but the way it is implemented during the telecast it became a manipulative weapon therefore should be canned, and I like him, but HBO's unofficial judge Harold must go too.

There's actually no reason whatsoever to use Compubox stats nor an unofficial judge, there are the commentators whose job is to translate what happening to the less knowledgable or sharp-eyed audience and that's that, we are here to watch the fight not statistic decorated all around the screen. Can this ****!

 

Just for the debate: the fight that I saw had Pascal clearly getting the better of Dawson and winning twice the rounds (8 to 3 actually on my card), yet the stats show Dawson doing better in each stats. If you are in agreement with Compubox, we did see a different fight.
