    BTW, How are Slaps scored in boxing?

    And why doesn't compubox have a 'slap' count? Or are slaps merely a type of punch, like the 'upper-slap', 'slap-hook', 'straight-slap', 'jab-slap', etc.?

    I'm just curious...

    'Slapsie' Maxie Rosenbloom.
    World light-heavyweight champion in the 1930s.

    Slapped his way through 298 fights, scored only 19 KOs.

    Kalzaghe is a pretty good slapper. Chris Bird, Ivan C. Paulie Malinagi, the list can go on and on...

    Obviously Joe Calslappy. There's literally no argument here.
